I was just about to post a reply to a thread when I saw I had a misspelled word.
I was thinking "Man, I would have looked life an idiot if I had pressed post. D:"
So, an idea popped into my head. Maybe ArmorGames can add an addition to the site where a warning pops up on your computer screen and says 'Are you sure you want to post? One or more words will be shown misspelled or censored.'
Of course, this option would be able to be turned off/on using your control panel.

Okay AG, start shooting me down.

Zophia would certainly lose many points.
Everyone loses points for talking about a game with made-up words.
Huh?
Agree to the made-up words part... But still, huh?

But yeah. Misspelling is a subjective matter. So, uh... Spell check, maybe, punishment for misspelling, no. Just get Firefox and its spell check...

I still don't think any of this is going to happen, but if you wanted to allow imaginary or misspelled words, (porpoise, by the way, is neither) all AG would need is a button similar to the ones above, bold, italic, et.al. to notify the site that the next word is intentionally incorrect. At least this way an effort would have to be made to do so, which is okay with me. I have nothing against creativity, but you can't do it wrong, well, until you can do right, right?

I don't think mazzelh or Yaltan is in the dictionary.

A made up word button means no more Yaltan unless Zophia wants to hit that button every time for every single word.

I thought that was what you meant, just got confused by the immediate follow-up by talking about a game...

But yeah, eck. That would be pretty annoying to have to do. >_>

(Btw, the mazzelh language is called Massel.)

On topic: I think a preview/spell check similar to GameFaqs's would be nice. If not that, an edit button would do, too. Tons of forums allow you to edit. Why not ArmorGames, as well?
