Just looking into a few forum plugins that tells you off if you have bad spelling in your posts.

For example:

http://www.spellingcow.com

It means that if you type in a perfect post with proper spelling you won't be hassled by the spell checker, but if it has errors (or words it dosen't recognise) then it pops up a page asking you to verify the spelling. You can still choose to ignore all or some words, correct some words etc (just like MS Word).

Although it does introduce one extra page to load between posts (which might be a hassle to 56k/dialup users).

Wat r ur thorts?

btu what about all the words that people use

FMIC

R32, R33 etc

turbz

zorst

the list goes on.. there are alot of words or abbreviations that are used so often that you dont think about it, but the spell checker wouldnt pick it up as a normal word..

Or can you add words that it can remember??

It dosen't get rid of it, it just dosen't encourage it. You can still hit "Ignore All" and it'll submit a page ridden with mistakes. I don't think it does grammar either.

Also I found that it dosen't like many abbreviations and automotive brands and terms as they are usually missplt, like "Blitz" and "blowoff" etc. Which can be annoying since that 99% of what we post about.

If you dont have to go thru the spell check every time, then it wouldnt be too bad.. but I have work network or cable at home, so the load time wouldn't bother me, im sure it could get annoying for people on dial up, doesnt matter how dialup friendly a webpage is, loading a extra page every post could get very annoying for some people. But it would be very handy for posting a new thread. thats the only time I would bother to use it I think.

When new words are added to the dictionary are they added to the same dictionary everyone uses? or is it just for that person? Or does it just ignore words?

Cos if i rite a post like dis and then hit add to dictionary, would that stuff up everyone else's spell checker up?

Could cause problems with the amount of users on here.

Oh baby bring on the spellchecker.

Some guys still don't realise there isn't a character limit when posting on the internet...

Hey whilst we're talking about spelling, is it considered poor form to politely correct someone else's spelling mistake?

A few common ones in the last week or so are fair/fare, break/brake, servers/service, etc. To be honest, if someone was polite I would prefer to know the right way to spell something but I'm not sure if others would be offended by it...?

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
