This is an extra step, I know…

I have two monitors on this laptop, the laptop screen itself and a biggo one that I use for trading the e-minis so I can see the charts with my bad up close eyesight. I have discovered that if I open Outlook or Word, I can just copy and paste the text that I want to post into one of those programs and let it do the spellchecking for me. It is an extra step, but not too time consuming. I think you can just open the programs if you have ’em onto your regular screen too.

Or better yet, why worry about spelling? We are among friends here, right?

I do kinda like just logging in and not having to type in the codes to post anymore. I always messed up trying to decide if the lower care ‘c’ was an ‘e’.

Y’all take good care, K.

  oh I do love not having to figure out all that weird printing half the time I had to move on to another set to try. or worse just almost give up. Spell check is fine, but only a few people think spelling is a direct link to intelligence. And poke insults at us less inclined. (They should see me try to text hahah) hubby stands over me, and says USE A SHORTER FORM (money doncha kknow)
  
  He was so upset (not really) when I finally learned how to text to our dotter when we were camping, but it took me a while to sort out how to say I luv u and u r sweet 2 and know she would understand it! (she is 30) haha My spelling has always been quite bad, and I blame myself, for doing it phonetically to help my deaf mom with her pronounciation. (my story and I am sticking to it)
