QUOTES WORD TO WORD FROM THIS THREAD
Surely the word THE can be deleted? However Microsoft word does not pick this up
Surely the word “use” needs to be added? However Microsoft word does not pick this up
Eg) or dont take time to USE a spellchecker
Surely this should be by? However Microsoft word does not pick this up
Eg) One word BY accident
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
