Does using a spellchecker help make you feel smarter than you really are ?

Spell checker popping up on me makes me feel feel way stupidier. Basic stuff I've mispelled for years are now apparently a thing ? See ?  I even misspelled misspelled..... this is not okay.

Yes I feel stupid myself ?The good thing about the spellchecker is I can adjust my message to incorporate the 5 dollars words I don't know how to spell into what I'm trying to say as opposed to using only the 50 cent words I know how to spell thereby granting me an elevated false status of pretending to be smarter than I already am .

At least for me, I find the automatic spellchecker often gets in my way, especially on mobile.

Isn't that's the guy holding a mop while pushing a bucket of soapy water who has to clean up the spills seniors have recently been  leaving in the magazine aisle of the supermarket ? 

                                                                                     

                

 

After seeing Martha  in this context I may finally decide to ditch all my  Farrah Fawcett posters .

Spellchecker really isn't as smart as it thinks it is.... 

Eye halve a spelling checker
It came with my pea sea.
It plainly marks four my revue miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a quay and type a word and weight for it to say
Weather eye yam wrong oar write.
It shows me strait a weigh as soon as a mist ache is maid.
It nose bee fore two long and eye can put the error rite.
Its rare lea ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it,
I am shore your pleased to no.
Its letter perfect awl the way.
My checker told me sew.

I'm surprised that Martha didn't force some poor kid to clean up all that sand before she laid down on it! ?

  Er ... Ken, I believe that to be grammatically correct, your spellchecker should have prompted you to add an apostrophe; i.e., Let's  

Considering the title of the thread, I think there must be some deep, profound irony lurking within your post.

 

 

 

 

Best wishes and much lurve from your pedantic friend Strummy.

Poor Strummy!  He forgot to let Kenny know about the missing comma after "In my case" as well! ?

I starting to think my spellchecker let the Lets slip through because it must have felt the complete utmost urgency and sheer desperation I was feeling inside myself while trying to get my thread topic posted in the sperm of the moment .

 

Best wishes back to you Steve

But a spell checker won't differentiate between there, their and they're.  Same with stationery and stationary.  Or even effect and affect.

I see a lot of confusion between the terms "spell" and "grammar."
