Spellcheck

[orangebandguy]

I use it sometimes, to help with trickier words that have strange vowel placement.

 

[Magnatek]

My spellchecker is my brain.
I rely on it heavily, otherwise I make spelling mistakes.
which I rarely do, but it is not unknown.

As it is with mine. I do make spelling mistakes, but I instantly spot them as I make them, and correct them accordingly.

 

[Arkhangelsk]

If I accidentally type too fast, it picks it up. But when it comes to spelling in theory, I can spell most things perfectly, although I fail if there are words I never use or have never heard before.

 

[Smudge91]

I rely on it a fair amount but as most of the words i use arn't even in its dictionary. Confront word spell checker with words like epistomology and it gets confused. So i will use it but will always have a dictionary to back it up as my spelling is notoriously awful

 

[TheSeventhLoneWolf]

Never, it will not help me remember how to spell things.

 

[Adanos]

As I am not a native English speaker I sometimes make mistakes. Then the spell check comes in handy.

 

[Chechosaurus]

Quite heavily. I'm a fairly poor speller (although my spellcheck annoys me when it uses americanised words).

Amen.

I use mine loads because I'm dyslexic so my spelling is poor. The spell checker you can get for Mozilla is pretty damn good but it's not great with punctuation but that's all right because I'm generally pretty good at that.

Glad to see I'm not the only Escapist with terrible spelling skills.

Spell check is the first thing I disable when I install a new copy of Word or OpenOffice. I don't need it, and it's annoying when it keeps warning me about "misspelled" proper names or technical terms.

 

[GodofDisaster]

I spell words right, most of the time but if I'm stuck then I'll use the spellchecker.

 

[Kriptonite]

Despite how much I read I'm an adequate speller.

Paraphrasing here but still the same message. I read a lot and my spelling isn't much better than average. What irritates me is I use a laptop and the keyboard is semi-retarded.

Not heavily at all. Though sometimes I'm just too lazy to spell out a word so I let Firefox fix it for me .

I love the Firefox spellchecker!

 

[The_Echo]

My web browser has an automatic spellcheck. If I misspell something, it lets me know. Usually I try to spell it correctly on my own, but if I'm feeling lazy I'll just do the auto-correct thing.

 

[Jonny49]

Google chrome has spell-check built in, and god is it annoying. Helpful sure...but very, very annoying.

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.
.....................
i use it alot. but I try not to be lazy and spell correctly.

 

[TraumaHound]

I rely pretty heavily on spell check. I'm a fairly good speller but my typing isn't alway on par (and on-speed) with my brain so spell check helps me catch the typos I'd otherwise miss while trying to type as fast as my head can dictate.

 

[MrDarkling]

Not too heavily but it is useful still.
Mainly because I type at such a speed I make multiple typos so it's quicker to get spellchecker to set them straight.
