Even wen ewe ewes spell Czech, awed things can slip buy it. Just wait until you have a customer named Arakawa on Alakawa Street. At my previous job I used WordPerfect. My spell checker was heavily customized - especially because I had to use the correct Hawaiian diacritical markings. I was constantly looking up proper names and place names in order to punctuate them correctly... Count your blessings! ;) Don’t feel two bad.

I've learned to accept it. I live by spell check. What I can't stand is when I spelled 'a' word correctly, but not a word that makes since in that sentence. I've gone back and edited my posts before too. I just wish someone would allow us to go back and edit comments. My fat little fingers have stumbled over these keys so many times… ‘it’ comes out ‘to’. LOL!! I can’t spell. I’ve learned to accept it. I live by spell check.

What I find ironic is that the words blog, blogger, and blogging are considered misspelled words even in Bloggers spell check!

You many already know this but just in case, I'll go ahead and mention it. When you see the red squiggly line under a word indicating a misspelling, right click. There you'll find the option to Add. Once you add a word, it's there for subsequent documents, too. In that way, you can create your own custom Hawaiian dictionary. :) As for the grammar check, I won't even go there. It isn't worth the time. Turn it off. Skeet, honey, I do not like most MS products but I do use them. You many already know this but just in case, I’ll go ahead and mention it.
