Gee cliffordex, if I'd seen the question posted before I wouldn't have posted mine. Pompous much?

Answer 1

You rule my school, man!

Answer 2

I do not use it because generally my answers are extremely long (I often spend one or two or even more houirs on an answer) and the spell check does not work at all when the answers are long. The google spell check does not work either except for the first paragraph showing the box missing most of the text. I hate this as I am a very good speller but because I have so much to say. I am trying to type fast to go with my brain speed. As I am usually always at the end and rarely do people read it as they are long gone. But I don't understand why the spell check does not work at all when it is long..but it doesn't. If I type something short, I usually do check it.

i'm a translator and proofreader yet i do no longer superb human beings on the internet except asked to simply by fact people who're no longer linguistically minded do basically no longer care, it relatively is a waste of time, and it basically gets on their nerves. That suggested, damaging grammar, spelling, and punctuation is disturbingly accepted in the process the internet, human beings see it, and, understanding not extra desirable, reproduction it; and so the vicious circle is going on till damaging English is the norm (if this is not already). i might might desire to stop my pastime to superb each and every of the errors I see in an afternoon's surfing: this web site is packed with errors (no longer inclusive of the intentional ones), as many from the preachers of stable grammar as from the defenders of illiteracy; the lack of ability or overuse of the apostrophe being the worst (2 Weeks' be conscious or 2 Weeks be conscious? specific, even Warner Bros go incorrect, so what wish for the rest individuals?). And what can we do whilst even respected web pages like the BBC are rife with errors? via the way, the spell examine is clever yet no longer suited. I particularly much positioned "fairly my pastime" simply by fact my hands are continuously racing forward typing uncomplicated words in the previous my innovations reaches them to tell them what they might desire to easily be typing. The spell examine would not have picked that up. It possibly would not %. up all damaging punctuation the two, e.g. the version between this is and its. This internet site is properly no longer that undesirable whilst in comparison with many boards i've got seen, so in line with danger some tolerance might desire to be exercised.
