The magicians at Apple somehow trained my pretty little internet box / laptop how to break into every application, every text box, every form, and chastise me via tiny red dotted line placed conveniently under every word I misspell. I love them for their magic. I pay them for their magic. And, I might as well admit it now, I spend more time with my laptop than my fiance because of said magic.
You, in all of your wisdom / coding mojo, have managed to disable this feature for your website. And then you place a spell check (an archaic, annoying one too!) on your post page, but of course decided to skip integration into the bookmarklet. That would be way too easy for your users. I’m starting to think that what you are really after is not to offer a tumblelog publishing platform, but is actually to teach the world at large greater patience via irritating quirks that we must work around every single time we want to use your service.
(I still love you. But you’re pushing it.)
EDIT: Someone who is smarter than I commented with this:
“Right click and choose “Check spelling” or open the html view or switch your settings to use plain text editing.”
Ok, so admittedly I should have tried harder to make the spelling thing work out for me, I just wish Tumblr was… perfect. There. I said it. I expect perfection. And if it’s not perfect, I’m going to complain. That is why I spend so much time on the internet. To rid myself of all of my negative feelings by posting scathing reviews of my favorite web tools.
Now you know the truth. No, really.
