I'm usually a pretty good speller but I swear I just typed the word 'privilege' 4 times before I got it right. Any simpler words give you problems?

    Not quite spelling but I ALWAYS fk up typing from & form in e-mails at work! ;) I always type one when I mean the other, look back at my e-mail later & see I've used the wrong one, mis-typed the wrong one.

    Also not quite what you're after again but I always remember I was the only person who spelt 'separate' right in a spelling test when I was about 8 at school. As I'm typing it I always think, is that right & then I remember well it probably is coz I was the only person...... Ha ha. :)

    If I stare at it and say it a few times it starts not making any sense and the spelling doesn't look right, lol

    I know exactly what you mean. I find that true for many words. Any word, really...if you stare at it long enough and say it enough times it becomes strange.

    That is sadly my favorite feature of a Mac, the automatic spell check on everything.
    Well, fuckers, he still stands.

    how do you spell check a post then before hitting sumbit

    Use firefox as your browser (I can at home but not at work) it underlines any mistakes

    But I hate how it is automatic American English....

    It wants me to say flavor opposed to flavour, color opposed colour, realize opposed to realise....

    You can have a word document open and type your message in there. Spell check it and then paste into the message box. Firefox does spell check but questions English spelling. It will highlight COLOUR for instance. Not sure if there is a preference but I can't be bothered to search for it.

    The word I have a problem with is Ophthalmology. I always leave the first "H" out.

    Ah thank you Chime. It works. Struth and Dinkum are still highlighted in red. But other than that... colour, favourite realise all without the red line.
