If you write game rules, odds are you use a lot of words the auto-correct in your word processing software don't recognize, doubly so for fantasy and scifi. Do you add them to your dictionary, ignore it each time or some alternate solution? |

Without auto correct on my phone here I'd be unintelligible to all of you lot.
Cheers Ivan I add all the weird ones like Cthulhu (yes I keep spelling it wrong so AC all the way-thank goodness)
Cheers now that I can spell |

Add them, but only after being annoyed for 100 times :-) |

I always disable auto-correct when possible and just add them. |

I should add them, and really, I mean to do it,but it seems like I will always do it next time. My AC never knows what to do with "upperworks", but can get pretty creative with it.  |

I see the red line only but never bother to add them. Just say "no" to auto-correct if you want to stay sane! |

I always would add them when I was doing work for Dark Age Games. |

I actually started typing it as "war game" just to stop fighting with it :-) Lazy, I know.. |

I add them like crazy. I probably still add a new one every week! |

I always create a new dictionary for a new project. If I'm working on a series, then that one dictionary becomes the 'default' for the entire series, and all new words are added to it. Having worked as an editor for quite a few game lines, I have several dictionaries. If projects are related (both medieval, for example), then I'll add the related dictionary. |

No autocorrect. Yes, inline spellcheck. Like Roderick Robertson above, I use and manage special dictionaries for different types of project. Otherwise, you might just as well not bother. Especially when you are writing in English but dealing with other languages … the number of two and three letter particles and helper words you need to accept into the dictionary across … say Italian, German, and Japanese … pretty much makes most expected typos acceptable. |
says 'thank you' one more time.
