Spellcheck sucks.
I once sent out a mailing for people to play Winged Food instead of Winged Foot.

OK-I just learned a new word. Homonym, very interesting
The last time someone tried to teach me linguistics and told me I had a dangling participle.... I checked my zipper.
Carry on!

That's why I love Firefox.. it underlines a word in red if it's spelled wrong.
Where? How do you do that? I have firefox and that doesnt happen for me. 
On topic:
This thread is out of hand. Really. People make mistakes. I have done it, we all do it. No one is perfect. Have you ever thought that making threads pointing out others errors is not so nice. Maybe other posters on here always have had trouble with spelling...perhaps you are embarrassing others that cant spell. No one person is better than any other person.
except me of course

I wasnt trying to embarrass anyone. My original thread was nice IMO. And One of like 4-5 that have been posted in recent days, so Im not gonna be the one who is told to RELAX....And again IT WASNT ABOUT spelling.....
I was trying to point it out so they stop embarrassing themselves.
Im not the one who turned this into a 3 ring circus...Thats left to the others on the board as usual.

Re: Spelling (WORD) Tips
But Donna, You started the thread at 2:47 you only edited to say you were a bad speller at 4:10... It was almost on page 3 by then. Most people looked at it when you said "use spell check"

UMMM AND I was making the point that you had started out about it being a "spell check thread" when people corrected you telling you that spell check wouldn't correct "won" and "one"

Maybe you shouldn't have posted the specific mistakes. I'm sure those who made those mistakes on the pregnancy board posts didn't think your post was nice either.
If you wanted to do it in a nicer way, start a thread with some websites for those looking to improve their writing.

You were pointing out specific mistakes that you found annoying. Those specific mistakes were only on the pregnancy board.
