If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

I am sure you checked out before, but: you should not be the first one to tackle this. Before we reinvent the wheel, is there really nothing out there in the wild interweb that already does the job ?

I have checked. There's stuff that's close.
But not as fun as making it perfect ourselves and having an excuse to throw some prizes out...

Why JavaScript? This sort of stuff should be happening on the server(s) right?

Speed: you want it to happen in the client so it's fast (and doesn't stress the servers). Think of the annoying "pauses" you sometimes get when pasting code into a CP textbox, and imagine typing with that going on...

Hey, you know what we should do?...make a CSharpScript browser plugin to run it 'sorry, no spelling check unless you install the CSharpScript plugin'

Trouble is there would have to be at least three of 'em: Chrome, Firefox and Opera.
Maybe an IE6 one for the companies that won't let people use a "proper" browser?

We'll just do one for IE and open source it...the rest can add it if they want...IE's market share will go up and they will all get in line

Of course, CP could be moving towards Node.JS - that would be really good

I always thought that's what the grammar pedants were here for. Now the OPs can get abuse direct from the website.
Kidding aside, it sounds like a worthy cause, however, will the spelling and grammar correction improve the content or the amount of effort put into a posting or article? Your fuel efficiency may fluctuate under different usage conditions.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

...hope it includes an 'off' switch...some of my misspellings are kinda my way of expressing myself, ya know?

<FlagellatingTheExpiredEquine>
The must be an off switch, and it must stay off. Spelling checkers are an abomination, and grammar checkers are worse. For every case where they find I've made an error, they come up with 100's of false positives to annoy me. While the grammar checker in Microsoft Word (for example) can be tailored, it takes too much work for far too little result. Bitch at me about dangling participles (bad habit1) and passive voice (bad habit2), and STFU.
I won't have an impudent piece of sh*t software telling me how to express myself.

I'm not after spell-ckecking - every decent browser already has that. I've after spell fixing. But really, not even spelling: just punctuation and stuff. Light touch to make a big difference.

But clearly there is a lack of use by many.
At least if there appears to be errors flagged by the JS implementation, you could flag a message "Hey, dunderhead, it looks like you have issues to sort out, fix them before submitting!"
