Oh, the glorious absurdity of misspelling "misspellings" - should have turn on your spell checker.
Re: Please turn off your spellchecker...
I think it’s predictive text that is the culprit.
Spellchecker and it’s wavy red line takes me back to the old days of WordPerfect.

Spellchecker doesn’t help everyone though
Words that commonly slip through a spellchecker.

Hi,
Like said auto complete predictive text is a bigger problem, actually try's to predict the meaning of a whole sentence, like grammar checker in ms word etc.

The OED gives the hyphen; Chambers and Websters do not. Oh well, can't satisfy everyone: I prefer to insert a hyphen because I think it makes it clearer...sizbut wrote:Oh, the glorious absurdity of misspelling "misspellings" - should have turn on your spell checker.

Re: Please turn off your spellchecker...
I like to compound "everytime" but the spell checker (correctly) makes it two words.
I think it should be one word though, perhaps I should add it to the dictionary...

Re: Please turn off your spellchecker...
Okay. I'm going to try a paragraph with spellcheck and predictive turned on, no editing! Here goes nothing...
Or lbs is genealogy a good out guided of shimano and Campagnolo parts. They stick a wide Barroso of diskettes and beat cakes, in fact their stock is Penally as good as misti of the online series. I rebellion tried to sieve a tear derailleur for my wish bike but they only bag last years model subic was not on my wish list for this yeah. Nenthead I've got my eye on someone better, I'm very keen on SRAM and woggle like to try their 2019 offerer even though it's smoothly out of my lettuce tams.

Re: Please turn off your spellchecker...
Here's another one, with spellcheck on, prediction AND Swype (finger slide input) all switched on!
The bold I ride endorsing is a vanishing caad 10. Its just about time beau bike I've Downend in a long time. Fowey is work I really little tune that it kamakura and rides into corners, Wenden though it's less resistor to obnoxious and bands Ryland a creation bike. I boycott it in 2018 but its not a brand new bike, I have its penalty from about 2002 but your episode be very poodle just to kills it out. Tyne Papworth is really nice and they're virtually not Wenden a mark on it. I've only hash to viens Tyne chain and a bottom bracket but some I got the bolts at stock a good price is not greatly much in the way of Hartshorne.
I'm very happy with it.
