I think there's something called sqiurel somewhere which is a free spell checker...don't know if they're still up though and I can't find them since I can't for the life of me figure out how to spell that damn word.
333 mhz well it's not that my computer is that slow (though it is) but word seems exceptionally slow, even for Microsoft. and every time I open it that annoying 'repair word' window comes up and won't go away even after unistalling office twice. Then I click cancel on it and it crashes.
Why don't we all just take our time a little bit and learn how to spell a bit better. Not only would our english skills improve but less people would be targets for ridicule. The world would be a better place.
Seriously though, just think more, try a little harder, and stop relying on machines for everything.
Well I'm against everyone using a spell checker. If every single post had exact grammer and spelling, no mistakes whatsoever, then this fora would be boring. Everybody would be like robots. If no one in life ever made any mistakes then life would be boring. Like on some show on BBC 2 a couple of weeks ago. Cars have been made so that they drive themselves, making crashes almost impossible. But no one wants them. People want to be able to crash, they want excitement and not everything to be perfect.
Fluffy, you get a "repair word" window when you start it? Never happened to me. Maybe you should try reinstalling. Or reformating, then reinstalling.
On topic: I don´t think a spell checker would help that much, in my experience you need to know both spelling and grammer to sort out all absurd changes the spell checker tells you to do. I have seen plenty of examples when a spell checker has made a text far worse than it originally was only because the user knew spelling/grammer so bad that he relied on everything the spell checker suggested.

A little off topic, but if I "Rejuvenate my love life" by clicking on the banner at the bottom of this page, will it put a nickel in your pocket TF? Or only if I purchase whatever miracle product they are selling? I never got a satisfactory answer on that.
