spelling check

Recommended Posts

anyone else find it amusing that the "check spelling" function knows how to spell "stripper" but not "skydiver"?

ok... maybe the cold medicine is making me delirious and i should go back to bed... nevermind...

One of my friend in school was from Yugoslavia and she spoke Serbian. I asked if she had spelling tests and she said that the way you spell a word is just the way it sounds. No correct or incorrect spelling at all! Almost makes me want to learn the language so that I spelling doesn't matter.
As a side note- I have the spelling capabilities of a 10 year old and was INCREDIBLY jealous that she had never taken a spelling test!

Orfun #21... thanks PsychoBob!

Don't they use the cryllic alphabet over there, so her spelling would be just adapting our alphabetical spelling to the phonetics of their words.
