I have been spelling this word wrong since September, for all who have had a problem with it, I am so very sorry, for the one who repped me, thank you for letting me know I was spelling it wrong, I will try my best to do better, as my life twirls around in circles, never knowing which way is up.

Sorry you could not take it anymore. Whoever you are, I am so very sorry, but thank you for letting me know, and I will keep it in mind, if I remember, and if you will keep the small task in mind, there is no spell check, at least not one that I have, involved with CD

Thank you for the rep not being negative.

Are you serious ?????????

Someone gave a neg rep to you for misspelling a word.
OH MY !
Life is too short, Cinder
Don't sweat the small stuff ------ contact Synopsis, I bet he will correct it for you.



P.S.
I started using Foxfire Browser, just about the same time they changed the bricks.
It appears that I have spell check on this browser (not that I pay that much attention LOL). OR CD changed something.
Is anyone else experiencing this , (have spell check) or am I completely flying the coop ?

I got your back sista !


Update : I just checked the 2 browsers (Netscape and Modzilla Firefox) and Firefox does have spell check. Maybe consider browsers IF thats what you want. BUT not to please someone who can't handle a simple spelling error.

In cinder's post, she says "Thank you for the rep not being negative."

I have the new Firefox, too, the one with spell-check, and it is amazing to me how often I, a person who had *previously* fancied herself as a decent speller, have been spelling things wrong! I certainly have shaken off that delusion.

I had opened this thread thinking it was going to be about the new Queen Elizabeth movie or some other royal subject.(no pun intended.)

Sorry,......... I'll retract the anal retentive remark.

I have finger dyslexia when I type. I often flip letters. Problem is more Word software auto fixes common mispellings like Their/Thier etc...Now my fingers have learned it backwards and I don't do it right other times...sigh
I was in Sunday school with a friend who always spelled Satan as Satin. I would tease her and ask her if she thought the devil was shiny and smooth.

Wow,,, someone else has the same troubles. My fingers are not connected to my head and nothing inside it works well with spelling. My thoughts go too quickly, the fingers go all over the keyboard and can't kept up; and try as I might, proof reading doesn’t help me. If I make a mistake ~ seldom to I notice it. There is no help for some of us. If you think the spelling is bad, you should hear how I mispronounce some of the words.
