Spell checker poll!!
« on: July 31, 2004, 11:07:17 am »
Well, how many use it?

BTW, this is my first ever poll. I figured I might as well do something important for my first!!
Only in America .....do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.

You missed an option.  Sometimes.  Which is what I do.  I don't use it enough though.

Of course I'm a perfect speller so it doesn't matter.   :P

I'd choose the "sometimes" option also.  Don't always remember it.

Most of the time as long as I remember it. I wish all of the forums I posted on had it.

Actually, I have never used it...but I review what I'm posting to see how it looks...but then I never trusted a spell checker totally after I caught a Tech Sgt (who was a terrible speller) adding hsi own version of words to the Word dictionary so they wouldn't come up as errors..he thought he was spelling the words correctly and the computer was wrong  ::)
