Do you use the spellcheck feature before submitting a post?

I hated spelling in school, so yes I do use the spell checker.

I didn't even know there was one I just use firefox for that.

I mostly use it for catching the mistakes that happen when my brain and fingers aren't syncing up right - people would see a lot of backwards or mixed words if I didn't.

I have noticed that, lately, I've left out words entirely or forgot S's on words. ...I think my brain isn't working at top speed.

I can't use it with the WebTV, but even when I still had the computer, I didn't use it. I always haul out the dictionary when I get stuck on the spelling of a word (or if I'm too lazy to get up and get the dictionary, I guess.. .).

~KK~

I didn't know there was one. But I am not interested in using it either.

No way!!! That's cutting out of my TCS time!!! You know what I mean when I mis spell soemhting!!!

I review all my posts before submitting, I only use the spellchecker if I don't know how to spell a word

No, I just usually preview my post before I submit so I just re-read it. I've never tried the spellcheck either, I guess I forgot about it!

Not everyone that uses this site is a native English speaker, so it's quite possible that some may not know what you mean - it also makes it difficult for one to put a word into a dictionary to find a translation.

I have a link for those with Opera. I will post a new thread in the Tech Talk section.

Oh Firefox. Where would I be without you?

I use FF and quick reply too. Often I haven't actually made a spelling error it's just set on US english.

Same here, I check my own spelling or edit my posts if I have spelled something wrong.

No, but I always preview my post before submitting.

Leave it to someone to be the troublemaker, eh?

I don't use it....mostly because I do not often have time....and I'm lazy when I do have the time.

I dont because I usually use AOL browser, but I should use IE so I can check.

I don't, but most of the time my misspelled words would still be a legit word...like typing time the other day came out item...I do preview the post alot though.

My preferred browser is Opera, so it's not available, but spelling is not a problem for me, and I tend to review my post a bazillion or so times before hitting submit, because of a severe case of "revisionitis", so I generally see any typos in time to correct them. There are exceptions to every known rule, though...

I sure try to remember to use it if I'm posting a long post, otherwise all you guys would think I'm illiterate
