The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsAbout writing comments in Democratic Underground. As I misspell a word, something corrects
my spelling. AUTOMATICALLY In the lounge, with a cup of coffee, can someone explain simply to me how this is done?.. By which program or gadget?. A poor speller like me.....this is AMAZING!!!!!!
Not all the time, but a whole lot of the time..It (???) often points out grammar mistakes. I really don't know, but my dictionary has dust on it. Thanks for any ideas on this, and to those who know..thank you for your knowledge... My hat is off to you... Stuart..

(38,439 posts)I find that amazing..!!!! I just went to my email at "GMAIL" wrote myself an email, and while I was writing it, it also corrected my spelling. If I type something wrong, it draws a red line beneath the word. Yes..It is amazing. You see those words I just wrote, (Yes..It) ? It, the program drew a red line beneath it. In this post right now. So, I just spelled the word (incredible) purposely wrong. I spelled it incredible...(with an a instead of an i in the last part (that is able, not ible) and it automatically correct it. drew a red line..What else is there to say? red lines and corrections...???

(38,439 posts)correctly the wrong spelling of my words. So am I correct...My hat is off to the browser...
Three hats off to all the browsers.... Sometimes I use one or the other. Did I spell that word correct?? browser???
I must add this...when I was teaching in the high school where I worked, from time to time the students corrected my spelling. While it was embarrassing, I was a "history teacher" not a speller so I tried to make a joke. It worked most of the time..

(38,439 posts)important, I type very fast because 55 years ago, I took typing in high school and was/am good at it. Sometimes the computer does not change the word but does underline it. OH MY....
Fifty five years ago, when I took typing in high school, I am not sure if I could imagine ever typing on a computer like I am doing now. And having one that does so much, along with the internet. Oh WELL.........and the availability of computers to almost everyone....
.................BEAM ME UP SCOTTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
