Answer 1

You are wasting your time - people are not going to bother - or rather SOME people dont bother. It is very irritatiing.

Answer 2

I've used it, and it does work in most instances. Unfortunately, spelling and grammar have declined so rapidly that it won't catch improper use of a 'correctly' spelled word. Example: their for there or they're, here for hear, etc. It won't catch punctuation errors either, which I find especially annoying. I've seen entire paragraphs written without one letter capitalized or one bit of punctuation.

Answer 3

I use it every time just to test myself and see how well I can do with words. Been out of school since '99' so I am due to misspell a few words.

Answer 4

Yeah, I've used it, but it's much faster to just get a dictionary and look up the word I want. I have one handy now.

Answer 5

LOL you gave me a headache reading that! Yes I have used the spelling checker.

Answer 6

Yes;although sometimes it will reject words that aren't in a dictionary; example :Xena.

Answer 7

It works great.
