TYPO ALERTS

I NOTICED WHEN TYPING COMMENTS OR PRIVATE MESSAGES THEY GIVE YOU THE RED SQUIGGLY LINE TO LET YOU KNOW YOU TYPO'D. however THIS COURTESY DOES NOT SEEM TO COVER WHEN I AM ACTUALLY SUBMITTING A POEM. IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE THIS FEATURE AS I TEND TO MESS UP ALLOT AND HATE HAVING OTHERS SEE MY FINAL RESULTS WITH MISTAKES. ( I HAD ABOUT 5 SQUIGGLY RED LINES JUST TYPING THIS. LOL!) also THE CUT AND PASTE FEATURE SEEMS TO BE MESSED UP. I HAVE SEVERAL POEMS STORED ELSEWHERE THAT I WOULD LIKE TO JUST COPY AND PASTE BUT WHENEVER I DO I GET A WHOLE LOT OF NONSENSE PUT IN BEFORE MY POEM ACTUALLY APPEARS IN THE FINAL RESULT. (NOW OFF TO FIX MY MISTAKES LOL! ANYONE ELSE HAVE THESE PROBLEMS?

The red squiggly lines are actually from your web browser. We do not currently have a spell check option for the private messages, but I'll put the suggestion up for review with everyone for you.

As for the copy/paste. I'm assuming you're copying from Word or another word processor. Best advice I can give for now is to paste it into notepad first, then paste it into the site. There is a fix for this that we can put in, and will do so in the near future.

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
