Mac OS X 10.4.11 spell checks everything you type in any application and underlines words that are not in the dictionary so you can correct them. Dandy feature. Another reason I love my Mac.

Firefox has a spell checker built-in too and it works fine when replying to messages on SW. It will also underline obviously incorrect capitalization, but then obviously the pERsoN wHo tYPeS LikE tHis doesn't exactly care about such things ;)

I do know that firefox & Safari have spellcheckers, but they don't have a way to 'correct' the text, do they?
I think that the OP's question is legitimate, even though she doesn't spell things correctly. When I read her posts they're always lighthearted, interesting, and supportive, things that I like in a community. :)

Don't know about Safari as I seldom use it, but in Firefox, all I have to do is CTRL-click on the underlined word and it gives me a list of possible options or an option to add it to the dictionary. I suppose in the PC versionof Firefox, you would wrong-click on the word.

(giggle) So that is how you do it. I just leave the red little lines alone.

I agree. Sometimes it's hard to dicipher her posts but she comes across as being so sweet. Even though I've never communicated with her, I would feel like shit if I criticized her, especially when I have my own faults ;)

I always type everything and out and spell check what I've written. I think that's pretty professional of me.
However, when I'm sending an email I usually say "hi" or "hello" followed by their name. I sign my emails with "Thank you" followed by my name. EVERYONE I work with addresses everything "Dear" and signs "Regards" or "Warmest Regards" and I feel like such a loser. haha.

^^ Re work emails...
Oh, if I'm being formal I'll use
Best,
[name]
As my signoff.
Or else "Have a lovely day!" If it's a Friday I'll say 'Enjoy the beautiful weekend' or something... I'm in sales, however, so I want to make sure that the interactions are as positive as possible.
Otherwise, my professional signature (with my name, phone, office address, and job title) is pretty long so I'm not adding another line anyway.
Okay done with tHrEaDjAcKiNg... damn, that IS hard!

The internet has fucked the English language.
This is a really interesting & short little essay from Wired where they talk about since the English language is becoming increasingly used internationally it's going to just pick up the grammar structures from its new speakers... so eventually, all of that grammar is gonna go out the window... so we should accept it... interesting reading.
