This is only applicable if using a PC / LAPTOP as ipod touch / phones etc dont have spell checker that i am aware of, or if they do sure will be harder to use
ps - not meaning to pick spots on this excellent thread just showing that even spell checks etc can miss things
MY PERSONAL VIEW
I agree with MOST of your thread and that fact that AOL speak is not required, and as I’m dyslexic I DO use Microsoft word for spelling before posting parts to my story.
However I don’t find this practical in some circumstances, in chat extra.
The problem I also find is being dyslexic I get words muddled up occasionally eg)
There / their
Were / wear / where
Through / though / throw
Are just example – and Microsoft word therefore is unable to pick these up
I also find sometimes that Microsoft word / spell checkers etc are unable to find the word I am looking for eg)
To represent as greater than is actually the case; overstate =
Exaggerate
This word took me 8min 12 sec to find spelling as at first put edzadurate / egsadurate / exadurate etc all with no spelling corrections being correct.
I found the correct spelling in the end my typing how I expected it to be worded in INTERNET EXPLORER – and it came up with suggestions unlike Microsoft word
The other thing I disagree with on this thread is the fact that you can easily when checking what you have typed miss something, you may type the word twice, or missed a word out etc
Also at times I am only on IPOD TOUCH and so CAN NOT use a spell checker before posting, however when doing this I do not post new threads – or parts of story for this reason. You can usually tell when I have typed on ipod touch as at bottom of posts it usually states Love RACHIE (capitals) and lower case if using Laptop.
However for the majority I agree that everyone CAN TRY to use proper English and spell things to the best of their capabilities
Love Rachie
