I use the Google search in the tool bar and just start typing in the word... gives a lot of suggestions before you can type all of the letters... just don't hit enter if you're still in the window where you're writing a post of something... and lose what you've typed!

Wow I just did rutabaga and it worked. Wait, I'm getting a red squiggly line, error. Standby. OK it was a T and a A not a D and an E. T and A? Well here comes Jocko.

Even though I'm a total technophobe I can't imagine a world without Google...

[jocko]

sure

OK. We are going to have to get these two together, maybe for a round of mud wrestling or something. :19:

Fortunately, I can spell every word in the English language, so I don't have to use Google.

[QUOTE=O'Dell;187479]So it was - my bad. I thought that Jocko might have broken down and bought a dictionary. That brings up another thought. If you can't spell a word, how do you look it up in a dictionary to determine the spelling. Another of life's conundrums.[/QU

Interesting that Jocko did get the word "devil" right and getsome didn't.
Just sayin

You're right. This is a momentous occasion and worthy of a celebration. Way to go, Jocko!!

[jocko]

it was surely an "accidet" just sayin

How the heck did I miss that...Thanks GROTMAN for catching it....I try to proof read and make sure I got it close to right but sometimes I miss something....

I wish I could spell like O'Dell and my wife can...Its a royal pain sometimes when trying to remember how something is spelled...Sometimes a word just doesn't look right to me but is (like Devil) and to me Devel looks more righter but what can I say, just another one of my many failings....

[wyntrout]

I've studied a lot of furrin' languages and sometimes the spellings are different by just a letter or two... in defence of my spellin checks. My biggest problem is that my timing is off because I'm not a typist. I had to pass a 20 WPM test to get through typing class back in 1964/65 in the Air Force... you just took the test over and over until you got 20 words correct in one minute... after mistakes deducted. I've never really progressed past that.
I use a "natural" keyboard at my main PC and it really throws me off when I use regular keyboards at any of the other machines.

Oh, I think I do pretty good, as well. I have spell checking turned off in my browser, but I use the Google search engine to check a word every now and then. I am kind of anal about it. If I notice an error after I have posted, I edit and correc tit. Sometimes I don't notice.

I have always had to do 2 finger typing, so I have built up speed over time. The only bad thing is that I have to keep my eyes on the keyboard while typing because I don't use the F and J index keys.

I use the qwerty keyboard. Too late to change now.

You really don't want to wish that. Post #37 was sarcasm. I'm a great reader, but probably among the world's worst spellers. I've been using the "Google trick" for years as dictionaries weren't cutting it, and Google is right up there at the top right corner of the page.

[jocko]

oh contrare, my friend, not the world's worst!! Just sayin..
