The problem with a spellchecker can be that it tells you you've misspelled a bunch of things that you've spelled correctly. At least, that's what happens with Thunderbird on my Linux box. I'm not a perfect speller, and it amazes me from time to time which words I forget the spelling of, but the problem is rare enough that I don't need a spellchecker chirping needlessly while I'm trying not to write something stupid. :-) Al -----Original Message----- From: Speakup [mailto:speakup-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dawes, Stephen Sent: Tuesday, April 09, 2013 12:21 PM To: 'Speakup is a screen review system for Linux.' Subject: RE: Dumb post to the Stargardts Facebook group IMHO! There is no excuse for misspelling in emails, because most email clients have the ability to check the spelling of a message before the message is sent. The only problem with this is that people do not turn this setting on. My wife tells me that spelling errors in anything I write only demonstrate how dumb I am.
