    Well its going to have to ma then I suppose if it offends anyone or makes me look like a bad typist then so be it. I am just a bit pedantic with spelling thats all.

    Just a thought, does Word pick it up as a typo or could you remove 'ma' from the Word dictionary? If so how about type your stuff up in Word then copy and paste into the browser once it's been spell checked? It's a long winded way around it I know, but could possibly get rid of that toothache.

    I suppose proof reading is another option, or possibly assign a macro key programmed as 'am'.

    8 times out of 10 i re-read my posts either before posting or once posted,
    often once posted i nip in and edit a typo or alter the spacing or move a line down so a paragraph flows,
    there is no rush here,
    take your time.
    or you get the T-shirt...

    john, as I've said before, concentrate on just one task at any one time. While typing, keep typing and don't go to the loo, cook dinner, change a CPU, add a GPU, wash your clothes, tidy up, until the typing is done. Then read it through before posting, then read it again. If I didn't do that Ide have a lot of misspelt wordz.

    I commend you guys for being able to help people with some of the messes I've seen posted. I only have an 8th grade education but the bad spelling, no punctuation, running all together, etc. just escapes me. I'm using Speckie right now & have had to stop several times to make a correction, you can't help but see the "Red lines". Guess I'm a bit pedantic myself.

    Grits your posts are certainly more coherent and organized than some more "educated" people here. You also have mastered the shift button to make capitol letters where needed.
