I'm not sure if this is a problem for anyone other than me, but whenever I type Anime or Manga, it comes up either as mis-spelled or just not as a word with red dots under neath them. Although not a real problem, just a rather annoyance because when typing on an Anime message board, it would be nice to know that there was no confusion with those words.

Well, you begin by typing them with in lower-case. They're ordinary nouns, not proper nouns.

But, really, it's all part of the spellchecker setup of your browser. You may want to look into that.

Well I have done what you have suggested abunai, but I can't seem to fix or even understand how I can't get my computer to register anime or manga, as both words that are not mis-spelled. Since I'm using Firefox 2.0 I'll see what I can do about adjusting how my browser perceives certain words.

That's the only way I can think help this minor, annoying problem that shouldn't have begun in the first place.

Right click on any "misspelled" word with red dotted underline, and a pop-up menu would appear:



Click "Add to dictionary" and you are done. Rule of thumb: if you have doubt in a Windows-based system, right click. I'm always amazed how few people have realized that most mice currently on the production line have three buttons and a wheel. Some more advanced models even have additional customizable buttons.

Ironically, Firefox 2.0 can't even recognize "Firefox" as a correct word. Rolling Eyes

Amazing Dormcat, you saved me a tremendous amount of annoyance by showing me that feature in Firefox, thank you very much.

Really? On mine it handles both Firefox and Mozilla without issue. (2.0.0.3)
