Way off topic, but useful

Recently, there has been allot of attention paid to the quality of spelling by some of the people who post to these forums. I have been sitting on the sidelines watching others get hammered because they misspell some words.

I know you all appreciate that my posts are consistently perfect, at least as far as spelling is concerned. Well, the guilt has become too much for me to bear and I feel I must confess that I use a little computer program to correct my mistakes. If it weren't for TinySpell, I coudnt spel wrth a carp.

Glad to get that off my chest. I feel much better now.

It's not much, but I'll try to make up my deception by providing the address for everyone to download this free program. You can download TinySpell here: http://www.megspace.com/computers/tinyspell/

I hope you all will forgive me.

Sincerely,
Mike Keeney

I am a bad speller.

I have spell check but it doesnt work online. I use to have those special reading and spelling classes. As you can tell from most of my posts <(i think thats wrong) It didnt help too much.

That's what's nice about TinySpell. It works in any program, even when you're online. When you misspell a word you hear a sound. You use a hot key sequence to open a box that has the correct spelling, plus several other words it thinks you might have meant.

It's a really helpful program and best of all, it's free.

Hey Mike I hate to burst your bubble but your program isn't working to well.

Also it's not that they can't spell the words right, it's that they are to lazy to spell them right.

What body? Don't know. Do you think there's any real difference between any of the NHRA Funny Car bodies? They may call them Camero's or firebirds, or whatever, but in reality, they're just Funny Car bodies with a different paint scheme.

Cheers,
