I agree with Pete, so I use the Preview Post option to check my posts before submitting.

I use the preview feature in conjunction with ieSpell. Both help me covey a message but even after that I can go back and sea wear I spelled correctly but still looked dump. ![]()
I take all the precautions I can. I type it out first in Notepad or Word, I Preview, then I submit it.
Only then do I realize the spelling or grammatical mistakes I previously missed.
Of course, I blame Microsoft, my computer, distractions, (low flying aircraft, Alien Invasion, flood/fire/tornado/earthquake, I get all those when I am typing), lack of sleep, and so on, because it is never me. ![]()
That's the main reason I became a Mod. I can delete my own posts and start again, ![]()

If that's Firefox, you can click here to download your old-world dictionary, then right-click a spell-checkable field and choose the English/United Kingdom option. I don't know why you'd ever want to intentionally spell words incorrectly, but I guess it would be easier to play Scrabble with all them Us strewn about. ![]()

Reclining in my deck chair, shipping my G & T and watching the sun set over azure blue ocean. No, wait, for a movement there I was dreaming of being a Civil Servant!![]()

I've collected all Mark's original posts and made a collage of them as blackmail to make sure he doesn't go spelling words with Us unduly. Seems to work, though, right? ![]()

I want 1 million dollars in small unmarked bills.
can edit my message like he edits his. It seems that I can't even spell sister right. The FREE Dictionary says it still means the same thing. Just my big fingers again at work.

I have too many pounds. Doctor told me I should lose some weight.
