Re: spelling on my site
Im putting this together for my teacher and he wants it all to look right I dont care but its my grade. there are just some things he wants capitalized i just dont know how to do it. im just asking for some help.
Re: spelling on my site
Clint,
You need to give us more information before anybody can help you. Where are these words? Are they in files the teacher has uploaded? If so, then you will have to download the files and fix them, then re-upload them. Are they in some of the text that has been added in the html editor? If so, then you will have to be made a teacher of the course before you can fix them. If you want to change some of the words that moodle uses, then you can look for the lang/en/moodle.php file and change them there.
Re: spelling on my site
Thank you for your help. it is the words that moodle uses. like at the top of the Frist page were it says "
Add a new topic..."
My teacher wonts the "n" and "t" to be capitalized. and in the "Administration" part were it says
"Enrolments - Choose internal or external ways to control enrolments"
Enrollments is not spelled right. its just the little thinks like that he wonts fixed. and i know i can't spell at all i have an IEP and have a very low reading and spelling level im only a 11th grader in high school and dont know how to use PHP.
Thank you,
Clint Johnson
Re: spelling on my site
Hi Clint,
Okay, that is a much better way to state your problem.
You can change these words without having to know any php by logging in as the administrator, clicking on Configuration, then Language, then Compare and Edit. There you can change any of the words you want. If you don't know how to do this, you need to check with the person who installed your Moodle program.
You can also tell that person that enrolment is spelled like this: enrollment, if they choose the en_us lang pack for your site.
Good luck with your project, keep working at it and I'm sure you will get a good grade. And keep practicing your spelling.

Re: spelling on my site
Okay, as an English teacher I'd say you need to make sure that what you post is close-to-perfect in terms of spelling and grammar otherwise people might wonder if you're joking. I count at least five errors in your three sentences. I've got scripts that generate tests for students that write posts like yours.
;)
Look at these practice tests here: http://www.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar
Look over spelling, capitalization, and contraction; your posts speak volumes.
That said, I want to open up a dialog on bash scripts to create scripts that hunt down errrors and create tests from grammar errors like the one's above.
Examples:
sed 's/\sim\s/{=I'm#Proper contraction of the first person pronoun 'I'.}/'
sed 's/\si\s/{=I#First person pronoun I must be capitalized in English}
These are cloze like tests... not perfect, mind you, but the idea is at the heart of education. How do you make the individual accountable for their mistakes?
Sed scripts like these, though not perfect, nor tested, offer an easy way to generate grammar rule tests with relative ease. The scripts can be passed over student work before the teacher has to read these mind numbing errors... and the tests can be focused on the offender specifically. My personal goal is to make every student pay for their individual mistakes by having individual tests generated based on their prose... without consequence there is no motivation, at least in the States where social promotion is the norm and illiteracy is average.

Wow! That sounds like fun!
Have you considered Perl? You get sed's regexes more integrated with the language that using sed with bash. Plus, there are some beautiful natural language parsing modules. Browse around http://search.cpan.org/ and you'll find gems like http://search.cpan.org/~dconway/Lingua-EN-Inflect-1.88/lib/Lingua/EN/Inflect.pm
