Spell Check

Has anybody noticed that the Spell Check icon always says "No Misspellings Found" no matter how bad you screw up the spelling? It happens on forum posts and private messages.

The ABC icon in the header above where you just posted; however I don't think you need to worry about.

Lol, I wonder what it's used for then.

It doesn't "wokr" for me either.  I hope they fix it because I'm only an average speller, but I think proper spelling lends credence to one's post.

It's a toggle, so maybe you are toggling it off.

ps.  Spellchecks are in Americanese, useless for us Canadians and others who speak regular English.

@ jurassicmark  I believe that too.

Spell Check or Dictionary; which do you prefer?

How would you help your spelling with the dictionary? Well, maybe if you read the dictionary, but no one does that... 

And plus, I don't see how spelling would affect one's personality.

I noticed too! I thought it was because I started using IE 11, it must changed around the same time i switched.

Now I just copy to Micrsoft outlook to spellcheck lol..

A homeschooler like me needs spellcheck!

I guess as a 13 year old to have never had the fun of looking up the correct spelling of a word in a dictionary, especially if you don't know how to spell it.

Well I don't know how to look up a word in the dictionary if I don't know how to spell it in the first place because... well... dictionaries are in alphabetical order. Anyway, I think my spelling is fine. And how do you know my age?

HessianWarrior

I guess you didn't lie.

kamuimaru

Lie about what?

HessianWarrior

About your age.
