        I use Firefox, it has a spell checker. But its vocabulary is a bit limited, so it flags up a few words spelled correctly.
        It's obvious, unlike some of us, it never went to an old-fashioned grammar school, where the masters made you write out again in full, essays where you'd even only made one spelling mistake.

          Don't worry, Vince, we have many volunteer "spellcheckers" on GC who will quite happily inform you when you've spelt something wrong!!:dunno::whistle::heehee::lunapic 130165696578242 5:

                When composing a post beware of the "Preposition Police."
                They will be scanning them all.

                They expect posters to know that, "a preposition is not something you should end a sentence with."

                  Watching QI last night and every year 5400 words are added to the English language . That's one every 38 minutes . About 1000 new words make it to the Oxford dictionary. I would love to see a list of 5000 new words !

                    I never fall foul of them as prepositions are always something I can distinguish between. :heehee:

                        This is true, but not everyone gets it.

                          I've twice seen vehicles that have followed their satnav and ended up 3ft deep in a ford! :heehee: They thought it was just a shallow one because their satnav told them to drive through. They hadn't bothered to read the sign that said 'Deep Ford'. :doh:
