Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsI don't spell too good, but I have a new problem...???
I have had spelling problems all my life..never liked it and I have accepted it..Kinda enjoy checking out the errors and correcting them..but......................................omg..........????????????????
The fucking computer program, I guess it is Windows...but I don't know where it is at......is correcting the spelling for me....
so I write the word.... problem..... ...with a u inbetween the l and the m...so I spelled it (prob)(lum)...and it automatically corrects it..without my permission to so..NOW...what is going on here???? I did that two lines back..and it automatically corrected that word.
Am I not allowed to spell wrong?? You see, I got a real problem now..it just did it again...What does the lounge have to say?????????? .....Thank You for Reading this and Understanding...!!!!!!!

(877 posts)I have horrible dyslexia and never could spell. Almost flunked AP English my senior year not because of lack of analysis but because of the spelling (this was back in 1983). Spell-checkers are my life-line.
In most programs, you can adjust it so it doesn't auto-correct or just underlines. Spell away - you really are in control.
BTW - I ended up with a PhD in mathematics so who cares about spelling -- it's all Greek to me. . .

I have a spelling chequer.
It came with my PC.
It planely marks four my revue,
Miss takes eye can knot sea.
I've run this poem threw it,
And I'm shore your glad two no.
Its wonder full in every weigh.
My chequer tolled mi sew.
