"Just how useful are spell checkers? They don't spell in english (english as in english english as opposed to foreign english)"

piffle! good spell checkers allow you to choose which language you want it checked in...you simply download the dictionary of your choice if you wish to have extra letters in your words. (color-colour)

and *daylia*..*grin*...my only claim to 'genius' to knowing where to look for ways to cheat save time.

here is Show html to allow the HTML to show without executing.

and here is a wonderful little 'as you type' spell checker . You can edit it to spell things YOUR way, and have a little window open to 'beep' you if you make a mistake....or not. I have 5-6 different spell checkers in various applications, some of which work on autopilot, and some only when I tell them to.
