Grammerly Spell Checker

[Floyddroid]

I find American spell checkers to be irritating.

I use a spellchecker (came with the browser) however I'm not anal about it, and if some self-appointed spelling Police bod deigns to comment on mistakes I make I either assume that person has had a bad day, or else if they are a repeat offender I mark 'em down as a pedantic asswipe who has nothing better to do with their time.

Shouldn't 'asswipe' be hyphenated?

Shouldn't 'asswipe' be hyphenated?

Shouldn't 'asswipe' be hyphenated?

Not necessarily

This is 'my thing', the rampant apostrophe.
I may be old ( I am...) but I have noticed little things like the following:

When typing on many Forums if you want to write its, it's comes up automatically. It is as though this is pre. set.
Did you notice I wrote 'it is' rather then 'it's' . I wish people would sometimes...
( I hope you are following this )

Basically, many people have forgotten the rules of grammar and punctuation. Either that or they weren't taught it correctly.
My English Teacher would make you get up and explain the difference and then, if it was relevant, write it on the blackboard.
We Pupils didn't like it at the time, but now I am just so thankful.

That's the spell checker on your browser; forums don't have spell checkers built in, generally speaking.

i tend to think this,sometimes i make a spelling mistake,if that bothers anyone i recommend them taking a good long hard look around the world and then shutting their mouths!

If I'm unsure of the spelling for a word, I just enter it into Google and it will generally be corrected as I type it in. The online dictionaries are good too, as long as you remember to use a UK one. It is worth taking the trouble in my view.

the odd typing error is fine and even the odd spelli!g mistake too...sometimes they are funny too so a bonus there
..but it is good to at least try to spell correctly. my spelling was crap when i left school by the standards of the time. i decided to get into xwords for a time and realised the benefits of being able to spell correctly.
