Spell Check

08/07/2010 1:05 PM

The spell check dosn't seem to be working today. I am a terrible speller. I sometimes can't write my name correctly two times in a row. But I hate to write anything with misspelled words or typing errors. I am completely dependant on this function.

Nope,

It's scheduled for every Sat. morning. The spell checker is getting on in years and it just takes longer.

I know that feeling but if I waited until Saturday morning things would get a tad messy.

That's why you're not the spell checker.

Every morning I wake up, and I pee.

Then I get out of bed. (stolen from Billy Crystal)

No, that's not really the reason I'm not a spell checker. It's because I tend to make a few errors from time to time.

I depend on spell check to disguise my heavy Chicago accent.

Well, it's working. I thought you were from Boston.

You think that's bad, about 4 out of every 10 threads I try to access cause my internet browser to go into a screen refresh loop and crash. I blame our company IT.

Anyway back to your problem. Yes it happens sometimes but just do what the rest of us do, copy the text into Microsoft Word and use its spell check function, then copy and past back into your CR4 post.

Simple.
