Poll question: How often do you use the spell check feature?
And don't you think we should do the neighborly thing and buy one for Freeperville? :D

3. Never...
I just hate spell-checkers. The first software testing job I ever had was testing the very first spell-checker ever written for the Macintosh. I thought it was the stupidest idea then - "who needs a spell-checker?", I thought.

This is why I'm not in marketing.

4. I can't use it...
because my dinosaur computer doesn't understand/support it (JavaScript error?). It's really a shame because I could really benefit from it.

6. Never have, never will.
If I post something and then see a misspelling or a typo, I edit the message.

8. The spelling impaired are people too!
I must confess: I wasn't born to spell. And having the spell checker makes it much easier for me to post with confidence. I know the computer program ain't perfect, but, sadly, it's a lot better than the spelling program God gave me.

9. I rarely use it
But occasionally if I'm doing 9 things at once, and am using them there big words to try to sound s-m-r-t, I'll run it through just to make sure. ;)
