...or get an according button in the message block please. I think it helps reducing typos. For example I know very well it is "their" but if I'm tired I write "there" instead. It's not just me, everybody makes typos occasionally, and red underscore can help reduce their number.

EDIT: It'd be ironic if there would be a typo in this post :p

spellcheck is not yet at the level where it can find out the context of a sentence, and switch "there" to "their" accordingly.

firefox has spellcheck built in.

I don't think spell-checking was ever a vBulletin feature, however it is something that most modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox) will do in web text-entry forms.

Oh yes, I switched from English to Spanish Firefox, that must be causing it. Thank you for your answers :p

I stopped confusing their, there, they're when I was 11 or 12.

I assume he means by mistake, not confusing them.

When I'm tired, I don't make mistakes like that. I skip words. Not important words, but words like "you" "are" or "think".

When I'm tired I just type the whole post out, but reading it back later find it makes no grammatical sense at all.
