Is it possible to have a function in the *To:* box that would *spellcheck* a name you type in?

E.g. I type Inge-Cay. Hit preview.
I get a message *Could not find anybody named ‘Inge-Cay’ *

It would be so nice, if I could get a *hint* for example:
*Did you mean, *Inge_Cav*?

Whachuthink?

It would save so much aggravation/stress to skirt around the chore that you have to go back and see if you typed the right spelling, etc. It’s great if you forget to capitalize, it goes through okay.

Is it Joe Six-Pack, Joesixpack, Joe 6-Pack, Joe6pack ...or any other permutation? {{{sigh}}}

For years, I’ve axed if we could please have a sixty second delay, where we would go back and edit a post; I *know* what the answer is. {{{sigh2}}}

I think most people would use that function to correct typos, grammar, and the like. If you have a disability like a TBI, vision...it would be so nice to have that option.

This thread is like a wish list to Santa. Thanks Yollo.

Merry Christmas to all my darling FReepers.

Use preview to edit leisurely.

That would make spammers around the world hysterically happy. All they would have to do is type in a few letters and they'd get a bunch of real screen-names. They could easily collect hundreds of thousands of names and spam freepers to death. A nightmare for Admin to combat, as well.
