As attested to by my many posts, I dn’t use it.
>> I just thought my Sixth Grade Spelling Bee Championship Title was in jeopardy.
You too, huh? Nerd.
I won my sixth grade spelling bee in, like, 1968 or something. They put my name on a plaque! (Did I spell that right?)
About ten years ago I took my lovely bride, the talented and charming Mrs. Tick, on a tour of my hometown (now a thousand miles away).
We went to my elementary school where, among other things, I intended to show her the plack (whatever) with my name on it. But...
THE BASTARDS HAD LONG AGO TAKEN IT DOWN AND ABORTED THE ANNUAL SPELLING BEE! Just damn. I guess they needed the plackque (?) space for the Champions of Diversity Award or something.
I’d burn the %@#$%^&* school building sown over this slight, but it’s steel and brick so I’d get no joy.
Thanks for listening to my sad tale of woe.
OH my gosh, very funny, rofl.
The spell check seems to work OK most of the time except for the word obama, which I can see the issue with because if I spelled it the way I really wanted to I would probably be banned.
I did get a lot more responses than I figured in a short time but that is what I love about FR. You never know where a thread is going to go after it is posted.
So many Rabbit Holes and so little time.
the spell checker is a better spell checker than me
I'm 59 and it appears that was the highlight of my Elementary School career. The rest is just a downhill blur.
No Plaque with my win, but as I recall the envy (hatred) coming from my fellow classmates made it a less than satisfactory experience.
Woe is me, scarred for life. HAHAHA
If your fluid thoughts are in ruiins, you need to change the fluid. Switch to scotch?
I actually did take a speed reading course. After a few sessions the instructor handed the class several typed pages of material to read. We had a time limit and a test of comprehension of the material followed.
After a minute or two I raised my hand as finished and everyone else read on for several minutes.
I had a reading rate of thousands of words a minute and 90+% comprehension!!! Amazing!! The methods worked!! Right.
After class I explained my method. Years before I had read the same story in high school and remembered the basic plot line. It only took a few lines of reading to realize this and remember the simple story.
That was my last day in that class.
PNIG
Wurkun fhine fer me.
Why hasn’t the spell checker been identified? Why is this site trying to protect him/her? Could it be the spell checker has an alcohol problem? So many unanswered questions.......
Don’t sweat it.
Spelling is overrated.

Here’s program that works within ANY program on your computer:

Under those conditions, I would just as soon not see them at eye level.
In your case, I think it is spelt with a "g."
I’m not getting that, but every time I type in “narcissistic loser”, it suggests “Obama” as a replacement.
There is an ad running on SiriusXm for a pill in which a sultry female voice urges you to "take the pill, wait seven seconds, look down, be amazed." I don't believe it is related to either ice or fishing, though.
