Hi Matt,,

Kevin just said that Andrew is dyslexic! What's the guy to do - run a spell checker I suppose.

But if Andrew has problems spelling in the first place and suppose that the spell checker gives two or three options for a mistyped word - how is he supposed to know which one to choose!

for instance, no offence intended here Andrew, he could type 'playn sailing' and the spell checker could offer 'plane'. That would make 'plane sailing'. The phrase isn't correct but the words are cos the spell checker says so!

As Kevin said - give him a break.
