You have a spell cheque function

It came with your PC

It plainly marques for your revue

Mistakes you cannot sea.

You strike a key and type a word

And weight for it two say

Weather your wrong or write

It shows you strait away.

As soon as a mistake is maid

It nose before two long

And you can put the error rite

Its never, ever wrong.

In fact, I have run this little ditty threw it

So I am shore you’re pleased to no

It’s letter perfect to the end

My spell cheque told me sew.

But that’s just my opinion. I could be wrong.

What good there about spell checking is all that when is there no good grammar checker?

Also, the spell checker will often often suggest a word that is wrong but looks similar i.e. Portrait > Portion

So it’s double jeopardy! In my opinion, bad grammar is harder to deal with than the spelling mistake.

Chris,

I agree. Especially after your first sentence. The only thing that is worse is the way my iPhone changes what I say in my text messages. If I’m not careful and reread everything I can get in a lot of trouble.
