well is he the only one that has access to make changes? not that it matters a lot, but a so called legal document (although they don't really hold any legal power) should be reviewed by others, regardless of who wrote it. |

Is using spell-check really that difficult? Don't most modern browsers have it built-in? |

@Tony wow, thanks, I just always assumed he was bad at spelling XD
@busterkomo Only in some browsers, I think. It's there is Safari for sure, but I don't know about IE or Firefox |

A: Althougth i am shure spell checking progames work for noraml spelling mistakes and peoleop with out disbalitys, this process is exteramly uneffective for me. I either get no resuestes at all or a big list of them witch all look the same to me. If you think it is confusing to see my posts with thess spelling erorrs, just think about replaing every other word with another random word. Not only dose this make it less readable but has goten me in to turoble in the past (i am not going to go there, but switching some words or other ones with negitve meanings in elemtry shcool is not a good thing).
EDIT: I actually have a question for Dan though,does it get hard to program since compilers don't work with spelling mistakes? Or have you learned how to get around it someway? I don't mean to be rude or offensive, I'm just curious. |

The beauty of english (and possibly other languages, idk) is that as long as what you put down phonetically sounds almost the same, it can be interpreted as the same word (2, or skewl, or in DAn's case, intengent) |

I'll try to answer -- while there certainly are some challenges associated with dyslexia, it does not make programming prohibitive. There are many great developers who don't speak English natively, I'm sure that they would also have some trouble with spelling of general words. |

It's pretty amazing that he is so good then, because I know if I had trouble spelling I'd have a hard time not giving up. |

Do we still have the book of dan's typos cTeam comic strip?
We were intending on making a full story arc about this very topic.
Dan's typos used to make compsci.ca threads extremely interesting. Back when this was all started I do not think there was browser based spellcheck.
