Here's a suggestion............

I make sure my spell check is correct. I also re-read my own posts to check for sentence errors. Since my kindle's keyboard has spell check and I try to use fancy words but I can't seem to start and finish. So I use easy words.

The problem is that Kalmbach has bought a "package" program to manage this forum, and the new package did not include spell check. Not likely that this colud be added

It's odd the mistakes I make and the ones I don't.  I almost (95%) always leave the r off of your until the first edit.  I know the difference between there and their but my fingers seem to have forgotten.  Editing sometimes brings its own errors.

I never write breaks when I mean brakes.

Spellcheck would be useful, however it does not always come up with correct word. Sometimes with funny or unintelligible results.

My main problem is I often see what I meant to type, not what I actually did type.

When I first typed this I post I spelled "unintelligible" wrong. I copied the incorrect spelling into Google and came up with the correct spelling which I pasted into the post. Usually works, however doesn't work if I am too far off. Sometimes I eventually find the correct spelling, other times I use a different word.

Still I cringe when I read an old post and see the mistakes that I missed.

I also have a problem with the both the reply and edit wondows because of their size, it is difficut to see enough of the post to keep things straight when I make changes, so I often end up with misplaced words and sentences. 

edit 1 After posting this, I saw several errors, which I corrected.  Hope I got all of them.

edit 2 Found another one.

Well, the "old" version of the forum had a spellcheck, but the "new and improved" version we enjoy for quite some time now does not.

So much for progress!

The older I get the fatter my fingers become thus I use Word to compose my posts and do a copy and paste.  The Word spell check works pretty good.

 

I also copy and paste picture links to the word document, that helps me load the pictures to my posts.  Regular links work good that way too.

I re-read my last thread and was horrified at my spelling mistakes. I came off as "unliterate". How about a spellcheck for this group!! For the record, I did finish the 8th grade!!
