If I had to vote for the most important invention in my life time, the spelling checker would be a strong consideration.

Wouldn't hurt to have something that tells you how to use the proper words in context as well. The funny thing is that many times a person makes such a mess out of their original spelling, that the checker gives too many possibilities and the writer choses the wrong spelling and gets a word with the wrong meaning.
My brother in law was a school teacher with a masters in Englih sent a letter to my mother in law with the following opening sentence " This will be a short letter, as this is my last s**t of paper". I guess none of us are immune to errors. (the ** represent "hi").

I've not yet figured out how to use my spellchecker when posting to ShootersForum :D . In reading the posts apparently a few others have the same problem :rolleyes: . Any suggestions from those of you who have mastered the technique?

Posted before reading "Spell Checker poem". Guess I may have to continue looking up my mispelled words in my dictionary. Problem is only correctly spelled words are in my dictionary. I need a dictionary that has misspelled words so I can find them to get the correct spelling needed to find them in my dictionary :confused:

Ummmm,
almost every one of my posts has an edit. I go back and fix typos once or twice after I hit post the first time. If I was in a hurry at first, I know I spend a lot more time editing than writing the original post. It's kind of embarrassing.

Once, for now... :p

Use Word or a similar word processor to type your reply and spell check it then. Then use the cut and paste feature to paste the correctly spelled post to the reply

Yup, our schools produce Einsteins such as these:

And I am a certified teacher! Just couldn't bring myself to work in the field...

PS - This reminds me of the day at work when an unruly family was having a portrait made at the portrait studio (I work in the receiving warehouse of a retail store, and the stockroom entrance is right by the studio). As the kids ran around out of control, shouting, knocking over displays, and asking passersby for money (!), the parents made no effort to curb the children's behavior and were obnoxious in their own right. As we dock apes watched in horrified amusement, I turned around and said "That right there is why I'm a certified Idaho teacher working at ***** (fill in the name of your local department store here)." The other guys just cracked up and we went back to work, shaking our heads!

I can feel for you. My son and his wife are both Texas certified teachers. Sometimes I think that teachers need combat pay.

I used to teach in a University nursing program and a very common misspelling I received was "asses" when the student intended to type "assesS". Spell check did not and does not catch that.

If you want to see a great example of SPELLCHECKER in action, take a look at mgraces "Spellchecker poem" in this HUMOR section. It is a riot.
