dictionary/spell checker

[BC1969]

Hey there, is there a setting to make the site stop changing my words ?
I have all of that turned off on my tablet, so it must be the message editor doing it, like if I try and type the word Ken, it will change it to Men, then I have to backup and force it to say k e n, its changing it right now, and some of the dictionary is wrong, it tries to tell me a word is spelled wrong, when I know it is right, it does this on my home computer too so, I would like to be able to turn it off, if that's possible.
Thanks

Mike

vB software, which this site runs on, does not employ a spell checker.
In fact when you click spell check in the editor, it suggests you install ieSpell - Spell Checker add-on for Internet Explorer to use as a client based spell checker.

But the website doesnt change anything on its own. I am pretty sure of this.

Well can you type a sentence to help me check it, try and type my name is ken man see if it changes the ken to men, if it does not, then it may be something in android not working right, thanks.

I use the IE spell check and it works well. We do not change post unless it violates our rules.

It is your tablet changing it, there is nothing on site doing it. It happens all the time on my android smart phone...
