Why is AOL spellcheck doing this?

Question

When i try and send emails on AOL it changes my name Eric MENA to Eric MEAN. how do i stop spellcheck from doing that?

Answer 1

Dump Pay-O-Hell and get an Internet service and email aplication that doesn't presume to make all your decisions for you. For example, the spellcheck in Outlook Express always gives me the opportunity to add a spelling to the dictionary.

Answer 2

You have to add your name to the dictionary.



When you run the spell checker (if you're running it automatically, open it manually by right-clicking and choosing Spell Check), click on the Settings button.



Once in settings, click on the link at the bottom that says "Edit my personal dictionary".



Type your name in there and click Add.



You can also change your settings to have it ignore words with mixed case, which include proper names.

Answer 3

If it allows you to add a word, like some spellcheckers do, add it and you won't have this problem any more.

Answer 4

click onto options and disable spell check

Hope this helps!
