I rely on spell checkers a lot. Anymore I use the Mac OS spell checker a great deal (on a Carbon based program, place the mouse over the word you want to check and then hit Command, Control, D, you'll get a little pop up dialog with the deifinition, or a no definition available with a link to open the main dictionary which will give you options). I love it to death.<BR/><BR/>Kanrei, yeah, when the spell checker does the hand motion for a black jack dealer saying their out (almost like a "safe" call in baseball) you know it's time to look for another word. Although, I use many words that the Word checked doesn't know. It also often gets grammer (verb noun agreements in particular) wrong.<BR/><BR/>Todd, me three.Steve Buchheithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12999709767641212586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19111384.post-2429696519201897442007-08-09T17:34:00.000-04:002007-08-09T17:34:00.000-04:00Me spell pretty someday.Me spell pretty someday.Todd Wheelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00349317324371340746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19111384.post-44327686199375770662007-08-09T14:16:00.000-04:002007-08-09T14:16:00.000-04:00I spell so badly I have abandoned things simply be...I spell so badly I have abandoned things simply because I could not spell what I was thinking. I spell so badly that spellcheck usually has no guesses for me.

I blame my crappy spelling ability on the English language, which is a mash of loan words from every other decent language on the plant. The rules are not consistent, there's always an exception. Latin, I can spell because the words sound like they're spelled, but English? bah!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
