Computers are neither smart nor dumb;

They are just plain MEAN!

 But what is their motive!?  That's what really concerns me.

I just started a thread and the system let me spell things in the subject line any way I wanted to.

My spell check operates on the subject line except that it accepts "spel" without a hiccup (go figure) but rejects other misspellings.  I tried that in a Word document and "spel" gets flagged, but Word uses its own dictionary.  Apple Mail, on the other hand, accepts "spel" at least on my laptop here.

Go figure.

I found that when creating a thread Spell Check operates on the Subject line, but not in the Post Body portion of the thread.

I have to believe that doesn't work for CandOforProgress.Laugh

 

 

 

 

Laugh Or, perhaps the feature has just been added to thread titles?

 

 

His thread titles are always a paragraph long. Mischief
