At least you're not checking your spell by having some serf drink the potion after you've cast it. Now that would be extremely old fashioned  :o

Amazing what tidbits of wisdom I learn this way ;)

[u]Eye Halve A Spelling Chequer[/u]

Eye halve a spelling chequer,
It came with my pea sea.
It plainly marques four my revue,
Miss-steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it to say,
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait aweigh.

As soon as a mist-ache is maid
It nose before two long,
And eye can putt the error rite
It's rare lea ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased too no,
It's letter perfect awl the weigh,
My chequer tolled me sew!

VISTA also has spell check, i experienced it 2 minutes ago, highlights something in red, then suggests an alternative...

i love VISTA and athlon...

Jon,

the Google toolbar/spell check is better because it's a proper English spell checker rather than the corrupted english one evolving from the US of world domination.

This has been discussed before on a number of occasions resulting in a number of suggestions for alternative ways to spell check.

Thanks Alec for the links - they so no more than above - that being that something has changed with the server and there seems to be nothing we can do about it

Ross- can you please push on this one - we don't all see ourselves as perfectionists  ;)
