The second thing I learned today
I'm using Firefox with the google tool bar. there's a SpellChecker on the bar. I thought it was just for e-mail. Out of curiosity I tried it in the Post Reply text box. It works there, too.
Please tell me I'm not the only one who didn't already know this. |

Re: The second thing I learned today
I have a spell checker
It came with my PC It plane lee marks four my revue Miss steaks aye can knot see Eye ran this poem threw it Your sure real glad two no Its very polished in its own weigh My chequer tolled me sew A checker is a blessing It freeze yew lodes of thyme It helps me right awl stiles two reed And aides me when aye rime Now spilling does not phase me It does knot bring a tier My pay purrs awl due glad den With wrapped words fare as hear To rite with care is quite a feet Of witch won should be proud And wee mussed dew the best wee can Sew flaws are knot aloud So ewe can sea why aye dew prays Such soft wear four pea seas And why eye brake in two averse Buy righting want to please |

Re: The second thing I learned today
And, you evidently do not know how to use it. Would you like lessons? I'm sure it's like the assorted SpellCheck apps I also have in the various progs located on my hard drive(s).
Spell checkers are an example of the "open architecture" aspect of Windows-based progs. The "open architecture" idea was a smart piece of marketing on the part of the MicroSoft folks. By offering off-the-shelf apps, folks were encouraged to write Windows-based progs. They didn't have to continually re-invent the wheel, so to speak. I've always considered these apps to be like a common thread woven within Windows-based progs and a terrific assist in intuitively maneuvering around a new prog. I also, on occasion, will write a reply to a post in my primary word processing prog and then, thru the use of the old DOS commands, Ctl+A, Ctl+C, copy and then paste (via Ctl+V) my reply in the reply text box. My accidental discovery tonight, though not worthy of a cable news program "crawl," to be sure, was, I thought, worthy of sharing. I thought, perhaps naively, it might be of interest to others. Apparently you are not interested. Thank you for taking the time to let me know. I'm quite certain a person of your obvious intellect can understand though, when I say I could not possibly care one whit less. If your reply was intended as humor, meh. But don't take offense, please. Our ideas of humor simply don't mesh. I can/do appreciate the effort you expended. <ul type="square"> [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img][/list] |
