How often do u use....

Spell-check & or Thesaurus/dictionary when composing something other then quick posts?
Or do you use them for even quick posts?

My dictionary is dog eared & rag tagged
and spell-check/thesaurus has risen up the white flag on several accounts.

Was always pretty good at spelling, so I seldom have to resort to either spelling checker or Dictionary/thesaurus.

I use the spell check most of the time. With the dictionary you have to know how to spell the word before you look it up, because as soon as you see it you say, 'ah! there it is, I knew I was right, it's like a bank, they won't lend you money unless you have money

I don`t. I`ve read voraciously all my life and have a good memory for how words should `look`.

click! Kodak moment.
(Please excuse my "c" for not being a capital-keyboard problem.)
How a word looks in your mind may not be the way it should actually be spelled.

I'm like Claire, voracious reader and good speller; but still keep the dictionary handy. Didn't your George III suffer from porphyria? (No, I didn't look that one up - knew it)

I'd be lost without a spell checker! Glad my browser has one built in

It's trying to remember words that I want, then I try to spell them.
