Spelling, Typing, and Posting

Most people who read my posts know that I am neither a perfect speller nor typer. [NOTE: I made two errors in the previous sentence.]

IESpell is a great help which I have discovered. It is free, and can be located by simpling plugging "IESpell" into an Internet search engine such as Google. It is also very easy to use.

As one is entering the text into an Internet box such as I am doing now, one simply clicks on "Tools" at the top of the screen. Then click on "IESpell" in the menu.

For spelling challenged people such as I, it is a real blessing. I intend to use it. Some of you may also want to check it out.

Learning to type properly will help some as well. My daughter is enrolled in a computer applications course this summer. She's been in it for two weeks and has already improved her typing skills from 43 wpm to 52 wpm. There's still one more week to go.

Is there the option of American and British/Oz English? <img src="/adventist/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

And yes, Cricket, learning keyboard skills should be taught in all schools. My children went to school in NZ and everyone sat for basic typing skill exams (Pitmans). I have been so grateful to the extra hours I put in, at high school, when typing was not one of my required subjects, to learn a little. Still not expert but I can keep up with typing my patient interviews directly into the computer. <img src="/adventist/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Yes, there is an option for British English, but the programs comes set to U.S. English. Simply click on the "Options" button, and make that change, as well as others.

Yes, this program only works with Internet Explorer.

Greg, does this mean that gone are the days that you spell church like, "chruch"?

Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

Yes, that was a very common typing error of mine.

Now, all I have to do is remember to spell check. But, I am generally doing that now, with an occasional forget.

I just hope you-all love me anyway.

We will try to not let the spelling get in the way... LOL

You will probably still see some of the same. I have IESpell installed on my computer at home. But, not on this computer that I am using now.
