@michael, I've already spellchecked the faq. Remember, there may be several reasons why spelling is wonky in english.
First off, American and British English spell some words differently, and if you've got a synth using one or other dialect that will affect the way you here things.
Eg, through and thru, or armour and armor (one tht always comes up in discussion rpgs).
then, there are pure and simple typos, which I must admit I make myself on occasion just because I'm typing fast, this is especially true if you have slow connections or the like.
Finally, there might be words that people just indeed do get wrong sometimes, sometimes by no fault of their own.
For instance, I recently had to go through the db and correct all the entries that mention the glulks If format, to glulx with an x instead of a ks, which of course sound the same, but apparently the x is the correct spelling. In these cases though, really I don't see too much need in worrying provided what is actually meant is clear enough.
As to a spellcheck, from what I saw there is no such thing available on punbb, indeed I've only seen one forum type that did have one, but sinse it had a very horrible interface with search boxes all over the place and a quick reply system that was no quicker than a regular reply (indeed slower), I think we're best sticking with Punbb.
@Aaron this is a problem, but I'm not really sure how to address it in the faq, sinse it's not really possible to list every single mainstream game that might be vaguely playable to someone with enough time and effort, even if not directly accessible. Indeed, I did once meet someone who claimed all! the final fantasy games were accessible because he could play them with sighted assistance.
Of course people will not know what an unfamiliar game is and want to know where to get it, that's just the nature of things, indeed I'd not heard of shank myself before it was mentioned here.
I've got a question relating to "where do i get this game" in the faq, which basically tells people to first go look in the db or on pcs games before asking, but I'm not sure how to deal with mainstream ones, sinse we can't really tell people to "go and look up" shank, soul calibur 5 or whatever, sinse there's no where to! look them up.
The only possible solution I can think of is creating a "playable mainstream games room" just for those sorts of discusssions, however I'm loathed to do that because firstly people are already getting confused about the uses of the new releases room, secondly it's in danger of sectioning off certain players and insuring that others who might genuinely want to know probably wont' here about them, and thirdly the hole boundary thing is far less well defigned in that case, ---- sinse the point a game like sound voyager, smugglers 3 or nethack (to pick some boarderline cases), starts! being accessible rather than merely playable with effort is a little hazy, and that's why the db is under the control of trust worthy mods who's judgement is reasonable on such matters.
this is another reason why putting such discussions in an area where they are unlikely to be seen by only some players would be a bad idea.
So failing creating a separate forum, which I'm obviously not in favour of, ---- I'm afraid I just can't think of a way of indicating to people that so and so is a mainstream game on a console that needs memorization, faqs and the like to work.
With our dreaming and singing, Ceaseless and sorrowless we! The glory about us clinging Of the glorious futures we see,
Our souls with high music ringing; O men! It must ever be
That we dwell in our dreaming and singing, A little apart from ye. (Arthur O'Shaughnessy 1873.)
