How many of you are anal enough that you do spell check before you post something, anywhere. Is it me, is it an age thing or is it just anal.

Checked, no spelling errors detected!

This is a pet peeve for many so you aren't alone on this. Fortunately though no one has to be an English Major to get support. For some English is a second language as this site is International. What do you use as a spell checker?

I use the google, catches about 90%. I so need to use it, I sintk at spelling

LOL!

I use Firefox as a browser and it has a built in Spell checker...

When something is spelled incorrectly, it's underlined in red ...

Click on it and a drop down box gives you spelling choices!

Cool!

I use the same one that Donna Jean does and why not she is the one that told me where to get it (I almost said told me where to go - but that is another issue entirely)

The key thing is to look for those red underlines before you hit send - it is too late then.

Love ya,

I tend to look at the word I just typed with every word I type to ensure it's spelt right! I've always been an excellent speller I think... :P Spell checkers are an annoyance to me because they just underline words that are not in their dictionaries, which I know I spelt correctly.

Lizzy is so right about people being able to tell what you said, also about writing in word, I do that with most of my poetry (to preserve a copy for my book).

As strange as it may seem the consonants are the most important letters in most words.

PS, I often have to go to a dictionary because most spell checkers do not contain many of the words in my vocabulary.

I use firefox....Well i do but not for this forum cause for some reason my firefox wouldn't let certain things on this forum appear. <_< so i swap around and use Internet explorer.

I use google.......I also use google when someone says a word i don't understand. I find it's defintion then pretend i knew exactly what they meant from the start. It makes me look far more intelligent than i actually am. B)

Being trying to get my head around that quote for a while "You ARE far more more intelligent than you actually are!" :P

I've got my Firefox working again! Whoo! Just to celebrate my fixing Firefox I'm doing the banana dance.

Anyway....

I'm loving this spelling thing on Firefox! I'll never spell anything wrong again! B)

Me, too! While I do have a degree in Comparative Literature and sometimes teach English, I am prone to spelling errors when typing. I rather depend on the Firefox tool these days. 'Tis a lovely thing :D

COOL!!!

And...Listen up, gang....

Another cool thing about is when you use a word or term repetitively and it always underlines in red..

Such I use "HRT" a lot...It underlines it in red...so, just click on it and in the dropdown box you'll see "Add to Dictionary"...hit that and it never underlines it again!

Cool, again!

LOVE IT!

It's also good when when you want to make up your own words.

Yep, Matty...that, too.....

The only drawback is that it has no idea of the context...so you can use ...your/you're ...

High/Hi...Raise/raze....and such as that and it has no idea if you're using the right word...just that you've spelled it correctly!

I am a terribly anal person when it comes to writing at all. I tend to review what I write at least three times to make sure my punctuation and syntax are correct, in addition to my spelling. For this reason, I had friends in college ask me to review their papers prior to submission. I've also done mini-lessons on a forum for semi-colon, capitalization, and comma use...

I'll use online spellcheckers and let Word correct things only if I'm lazy; they're great as guides, but they aren't perfect. The dictionary is a much better friend to me. I also love edit and modify buttons on sites. <3

Sally, that's because many of the words in your vocabulary can only be found in the Online Dictionary of American Slang. :P

You'll find dang, chesticles, and my favorite, the Conflictasorus, which is defined as a transsexual dinosaur. :lol:

Don't believe me, check it out for yourself. http://onlineslangdictionary.com/definitio.../conflictasorus

Firefox fixes most of my screw ups. However I like to believe that the english language is flexible in that I can makify mah own wordery up. Isn't that just amazingly fantastical?

      https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2024/04/russian-poetry-competition-bans-transgender-applicants/     Everyone in Russia knows that Putin hates LGBT people, so every segment of society gets on board with the Leader's viewpoint, or they risk his wrath.  Sounds a lot like Florida, doesn't it?   Carolyn Marie

      happy trans birthday! I can't speak personally on the subject, but I hope hormones bring you the changes you're looking for <3 
    • MaeBe
      That’s super healthy, to see that something that becomes common has less effect on you and that you are able to decipher these feelings.   Sadly, this trend tends to only deaden good feelings as we tend not to let bad feelings attenuate the same way.   I have noticed less euphoria, but still feel the dysphorias that I have. Sometimes the good sneaks in and reminds me, but often time it’s just me seeing myself in the mirror and being comfortable about what I see when embracing my realized self. I may not get the same buzz I once did, but I don’t feel incongruous when looking at a more “drab” reflection.    Wishing you strength, you are amazing!
    • KayC
      Congratulations! and Happy Trans Birthday @LittleSam! That is such a BIG milestone.  I can still remember walking out of my clinic with my first HRT presciption.  I was on Cloud-9.  Wishing you all the best in the start of your new Journey!
    • missyjo
      maebe thank you I try to be. I thank God for blessings, try to share them, beg forgiveness for my shortcomings n vow to try to do better...2 priests have said no, God doesn't condemn you just for being trans...but apparently evangelicals do   I shall vtry dear thank you  
    • MaeBe
      Meet him at the being good to others part of Christianity. At the heart of it, there are excellent tenets of the faith. Those that condemn are judging, Jesus would have us be selfless; stone casting and all that. Are you a good person? Are you putting good into the world? If your gender is an issue for God, let God judge. In the mortal realm, let your actions be heard. 
    • missyjo
      and just fi sweeten it..I'm catholic n he hasn't been for years..he's evangelical..whatever that is
    • MaeBe
      Let’s stick to cite-able fact. Most of my posts have been directly in relation to LGBTQ+ rights as it pertains to P2025 and I have drawn direct links between people, their quotes, and their agenda. I have made reference to the cronyism that P2025 would entail as well, by gutting, not cutting, broad swathes of government and replacing it with “conservative warriors” (I can get you the direct quote, but rest assured it’s a quote). All this does is constantly force the cogs to be refitted, not their movement. To say that agencies have directly defied a President is a bit much, the EPA did what Trump told them to do at the direct harm to the environment, the department of agriculture did the same by enacting the administrations forced move to KC which decimated the USDA.      How about Betsy DeVoss for Education? Or Bannon for anything? What about the revolving Chief of Staff position that Trump couldn’t stay filled? Or the Postmaster General, who did much to make the USPS worse?   Let’s not mix politics with racism, sexism, or any other ism. Because Trump made mainly white, male, appointments—many of them not, arguably, people fit for service—or unwilling to commit to term. I can argue this because, again, he’s up for election and will do what he did before (and more of the same, his words).   Please delineate how the selected diversity appointments have negatively affected the US, other than being black, women, or queer? Representation matters and America benefits when its people are inspired and empowered.

      When I first started figuring things out, I got a lot more euphoria. Every time a friend would use he/they pronouns for me, I'd get this bubbly feeling, and seeing myself look masculine made me really happy. Dysphoric state felt more normal, so I guess I noticed the pain it caused me less.   Now, it's more just that my pronouns and such things feel natural, and dysphoria is a lot stronger -- I know what's natural, so experiencing the opposite is more jarring than everything. The problem is, most of my natural experiences are from friends, and I rarely get properly gendered by strangers, much less by my family. I've found myself unable to bind in months due to aches, colds,, and not wanting to risk damage.    It partially makes me want to go back to the beginning of my journey, because at least then I got full euphoria. I'm pretty sure it'll be like this until I medically transition, or at the very least get top surgery (you know all those trans dudes online with tiny chests? Not me, unfortunately). It's a bit depressing, but at least I know that, eventually, there's a way out of this.
    • RaineOnYourParade
      Major mood, right here ^^^    I've listened to Lumineers to a long time (a major portion of it by osmosis via my mom), so that is almost painfully relatable
    • RaineOnYourParade
      As for getting a button-up/formal pants suit, you can try to talk to her more -- Cis women in tuxes have worn tuxes in recent years, after all, (for example, Zendaya) so it can still be a relatively safe topic. For jumpsuits, I'd recommend going with a simple one with a blazer, if you can -- this'll make it look overall more masculine. There's a lot of good brands, but going for one without a lot of extra glitz on it will make it look less feminine under a blazer. I don't know many specific brands though since I usually just get my stuff from chain stores, sorry :<   When it comes to your hair, if you can't cut it, you can look up tutorials on fluffing it up instead. If you can pull it off, it can look a lot shorter and more androgynous instead!
