OK, Be Honest!!!
DO you Spell Check before every DU post like I do. Or is it only when there is a word you don't know.

I am a bad speller. I was always good at everything else, i just can't spell!!

1. Nope
Bad speller when in a hurry but this is not a term paper. We communicate. The ideas take priority in such conversations.

4. Usually to double-check
I get in too much of a hurry sometimes.....

I was raised in an old-fashioned way where I was taught that proper spelling was equivalent to good manners..........

13. heh heh - love your photo collection
you gotta add that one with the umbrella.

My spelling sucks - I type like my fingernails are too long and transpose left and right hand letters a lot. Or too fast so things like "the" come out "hte"

6. I use it most of the time
Especially when I think I've typed something quickly and I'm afraid I've made a typo

7. Yup
My spelling has always sucked, my handwriting is worse and my grammar blows. But there is no need to worry about the handwriting here and there isn't a grammar checker. Bad spelling doesn't really bother me, but as I have seen in this place, some people freak out over a misspelled word. So I just take the few seconds to run the checker.

8. Spell checker does bad things to this computer
I don't do it at all from here (I'd rather have a type than a crash), and rarely from my other computer.

9. Hardly ever
I rarely use spell check. I was the spelling bee runner-up in elementary school! ;)

10. Yes, every time
And, I am (stupidly) proud when it tells me "No misspellings found"!

Wow! Did it again!

11. Rarely use it.
Only if a particular word "looks funny". Most of the time I don't bother.

12. I am a horrible speller
I type fast and sometimes I will be thinking about one word and type another word.

I have to spell check this message now.
