I am terrible at spelling, and not that swift at not making typo's as well. I rely on spell check everywhere! This is a free, safe download that is available with a right click on or off the web. Really I can spell necessary twelve different ways...now if I could find a decent grammer checker for my on-line postings....

LOL!! I've been a professional editor for over 20 years now, and I have to say that no spell checker will save you. I see so many wrong words even in printed books these days because spell check recognized it as a real word---it's just not the correct one. And forget about grammar checkers; grammar is apparently too complicated for any programmer to figure out how to account for everything. Maybe I'm just feeling a little underappreciated in my profession, but it seems that with that advent of email and the web plus cost-cutting measures at publishers, spelling and grammar are no longer as important as they used to be. Sigh. (BTW, I personally find spell checker annoying because I know many more words than it does!)

I think I need to do my typing somewhere else and spell check. Sometimes, I go back and read my post and am so embarrassed about the mistakes. I think we get caught up in our thoughts and responses. It's so easy to miss things.
