spiel-check

My forum editor underlines my misspellings, but also my neologisms,
and also some words apparently missing from the check-word-list.
Could someone post a copy of the entire dictionary/word-list?
Would be helpful and interesting.

My browser does this for me. Are you sure it is the forum JS doing it for you?

No, now I'm not at all sure. (Does that make me an agnostic on this?)
How would I check?

Turn off JS and see if it still spell checks for you.

If you have one of the latest crippled FF browsers where turning off JS is made particularly difficult then you will have to spend a few hours trying to figure out how to turn it off for the test.

I've spent worse hours, but how about a hint? Does mforum (that word got underlined) even do this?

Without any idea about which browser you use I can't help. But if you have the same version as me then it looks like this.

That check box does not appear in FF 34.0.5. Look at the guidance here:

Write this about:config instead of About config in search bar. Read more from here : http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config

You will almost certainly have to use the Config file to make this change in later versions. If controlling Java is your aim, try the NoScript add on. It gives a lot more choices than "yes" or "no".

I think you mean JS. Java (both the drink and the language) is a whole different thing.

I [sit] corrected.

I think it's the forum, I get spell-check from two different browsers (I think) on
different computers. I'm interested in the word-check-list.

Most (all?) modern desktop browsers include spell-check, so that's not surprising.

I'm almost certain it's your browser, not the web page, doing this for you. I'm using the latest Firefox, and just switched to the WYSIWYG editor option (being, I think, the most likely option to include its own spell-check) and the spell-check that I have is quite apparently Firefox's. An easy way I can see this is by right clicking in the text box > Languages > Add Dictionaries, which opens a Firefox add-ons page to install new dictionaries. (also note you can right click on any "misspelled" word and add it to your dictionary)
As an additional check, I did a quick read-through of all the JS on this (creating new reply) page, and found no word lists.
