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?

      Welcome to the Forums @gizgizgizzie we have folks in your situations to talk to and share with.

      hi everyone, my name is giz (or gizzie), i use all prns but i prefer they/it and i just found out abt this place pretty recently !! im really excited to find community among other trans people from so many walks of life !! in my personal life, i do have trans/queer friends but its not easy to navigate that without coming out all willy nilly (and i can't come out to my family, pretty much ever) so this is a pretty good place for me to get to know people and make new friends !!   i also have this weird dysphoria issue that i feel like everyone (and society at large lol) is attaching me to categories and boxes that don't really fit me (obviously this is to do with my agab) so being here without that presentation is also really helpful !!   i also hope to be able to start and share my transitions goals and things like that (just getting my body to a more androgynous look) !!   thanks for reading, and i hope to see more of y'all soon !!

      Well, my friends are out publicly. Openly transgender, and on HRT.  I agree that the survival of all of us is at stake.  But I think there are threats greater and more dangerous than those faced exclusively by LGBTQ folks.   Rising prices. Unaffordable food.  EPA strangling transportation and energy.  Needless foreign wars that put us at risk of literal nuclear annihilation.  A government that wants to tax us, track us, and control every aspect of our lives...including using us as guinea pigs for their medical experiments.     Trump is no savior.  Neither is the Republican party.  But I believe that a vote for Democrats in the federal government is for sure a vote for globalism and what follows it.  War, famine, plague, slavery, and death don't care if we're trans or cis.

      People who are out publicly, and openly transgender, maybe on HRT, having changed names and gender, have a lot to lose if anti-trans politicians take power.  They have openly called for our eradication, and promise to do everything they can to accomplish this.  (again, 2025) For someone in this position the election is about our survival.  It's foolish to delude ourselves into thinking "Oh, they don't really mean that.  It's all for show," or, "There's other more important things to concern ourselves with." Maybe for some people the other things take priority.  But if you have skin in the game, things look different.  
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      If that happens, a lot of things I don't want to see might also be codified into law.  And some things that shouldn't be law might not get repealed.  To me, progress in one area isn't worth the price we'd have to pay in several other areas.     For me, voting on LGBTQ issues always ends up as an "out of the frying pan, but into the fire" sort of event.

      Trying out a new wig. Got my reading glasses on. I've also got dark roots now - first time in years.

      Thea, your post made me think of a comic named Chloe Petts whom I saw recently on Hannah Gadsby's Gender Agenda comedy special on Netflix. She is a cisgender masculine lesbian. She is brilliant and so funny. I was intrigued by her identification - specifically masculine, not butch. And it seems to me there is a difference.

      Today I had a dr appt. When I checked in, I was asked my surname, which I gave. Apparently there were two patients with appointments at that time with that same surname. The receptionist asked, "Are you (my legal name which is feminine) or Paul?" I got such a kick out of it not being assumed I had the feminine name. 
    • Vidanjali
      That must have felt affirming, albeit perhaps weirdly so. However, I'd construe that more broadly (no pun intended) as sexism rather than misogyny where the latter would imply contempt. Also, incidentally, I've heard chivalry referred to as "benevolent sexism".

      My boss is in a panic. His business is a couple straws away from breaking a camel in half. He's just handling the stress very poorly.   My dad, though. He's handling things pretty well, as long as I continue to don't get massively offended by being called: son, boy, etc. His eldest is leaving the State and looks so different than he's been used to over the years. I haven't told him I'm on HRT, but to be fair the changes haven't been massive. I've always had boobs, more so after COVID weight gain and made more obvious with its loss, but now I'm not hiding them--and obviously wearing a bra. The estrogen has done some work, but nothing major (sadly). I think the biggest HRT changes have been my skin and a mild amount of fat redistribution.   Today I'm wearing my cheater, I almost have cleavage! :D I need to get another t-shirt bra to keep a good rotation. I only have two, one push-up, and the rest are unlined (great for Summer, but not great for my Summer wardrobe ).
