Others may already know this but i have just discovered if you type a post then cut it and paste it straight back in you get a spell check! If like me your dyslexic I think its very useful.

Yes i try same if its a longish post but sometimes don't have time, then i look back a few days later and spot some of my mistakes.

I don't always do it, but if you know that you are about to type a long message on these Forums it is always sensible to start on Word (which has an inbuilt spelling and grammar checker) and then cut and paste from that to here.

Saves the Forum platform shutting you down mid sentence and not always remembering what you have drafted.

That is not you mate. Its this shocking forum set up For almost every post I make, I have a nightmare entering the security code. Its like rowing with the Mrs, I know I am correct but the computer says no

Yep my employer pays for the full version for me (not comparable with the forum) and apart from it slipping back into USA English from time to time its great - my tip was for short post like this one. (picked up 6 mistakes in this post)
