Could "Fluther" be added to the site dictionary?

Asked by Kayak8 (16457points) December 11th, 2010

Every time I respond to a question and reference Fluther, I get the little red squiggly line under the word indicating that it is not spelled correctly or that perhaps it shouldn’t be capitalized. Seeing as how this IS Fluther, could the word be added to the site dictionary? As a non-computer person, I have no idea if this is a challenging thing to request.

If the error is mine (and Fluther should be lower-case), clue me in!

It’s not a site dictionary, though. The dictionary is within your web browser itself.
You can add it to your browser’s dictionary by right-clicking on it and clicking “add to dictionary” (Or something along those lines, depending on which browser you use)

Depending on what program you are using, I think you should be able to right click on the word and from there you should be able to add it to your program’s dictionary. I remember doing this years ago with word processing. So I’m not sure if it’s still practiced today;-)

Thanks to the miracle that is Fluther I added the word to my dictionary per the instructions provided and no more little red squiggles! Thanks very much—I feel much better . . .

The red squiggles are just Dr. J’s little red tentacles of love. Appreciate them.

BenDrewIm—this is a no-brainer.
Just do it.

Fluther doesn’t have a built in dictionary/spell checker. As @Sarcasm says, that’s your browser, not our site. :)
