Yup and I always use the define function on google to search for meanings before consulting a dictionary site.
-
No,my apple computer has it built into the system.
-
Sometimes, yes! That ''Did you mean..?'' feature is quite handy.
-
No. People who can't spell put things on websites that Google will find. I use m-w.com
-
Oh Yeah - It just has to be done. Esp. when you don't feel like opening Word etc.
-
No
-
nope, mac and firefox does it for me.
-
not usually...I'm pretty good at spelling on my own.
-
No. The best thing to do if you’re a bad speller is type what you want to say in Microsoft Word….Then copy and paste what you’ve written.
-
yes if I can't find it in my dictionary or have no clue on how to spell a word.
-
No, I old fashion, I still use microsoft word! ;)
-
Hell yeah, all the time, it's fast. Just type it in and it will say did you mean ....?
-
I use Firefox's real-time spell checker for internet usage. Even though sometimes it's a little of, as it's telling me my spelling of internet is wrong. But for the most part I'm a good speller anyway. It picks up the mistakes I make if I'm typing to fast and miss something. I do however use Google as a dictionary (it actually redirects me to answers.com or something, but I'm still using google to do it.
-
I use Firefox so have a spell checker available everywhere for just about everything.
-
All the time, and I thought I was the only one.
-
Nope..I'm confident enough of my spelling skills.Ü
-
i hav firfocks and it has a bilt in spelchek, butt I nevver use it becos my speling is brilyant. ;-)
-
Yes I do
-
Yes, however its not always effective since it returns the most commonly way the word is spelt - which is not the correct spelling. http://spellcheck.net is handy.
-
oh yea................... up :)
-
sure do!
-
All the time. I use Google for pretty much EVERYTHING. Another easy spell check I use is just going into a word processing program (Corel WP or Microsoft Word) and write it how it sounds and then check the spell check.
-
No. I use dictionary.com.
-
no....
-
Yep it is right there in the upper right hand corner!
-
yes, often...but I have a dictionary beside me as well.
-
Firefox is my browser and it automatically spell checks. It gives options of words; correct spelling and words with similar spelling. It's great.
-
soemtimes if i am lazy enough to not click in dictionary.com because sinc ei use google more ofte, it just shows up on th ewebthingy, so i just click g, and google shows up. LOL great question.
-
No, I use dictionary.com haha
-

-
LoL, yes!! I just did that today!
-
Sumtimes. Ef eye Thank aboot itt.
-
Yep.
-
More often than I care to admit, thanks.
-
I use it to fine words type the word plus definition and it will give you it as the first link which you don't even need to click. For spelling I use Firefox or just know how to spell the word.
-
Yes - and I use it to settle arguments. When I disagree with my friend about the spelling of a word, we see which spelling has the most results on Google and let that be the answer.
-
never thought of that! Great idea!!!
-
Oh heck yeah. I almost thought I was the only one!
-
Nope. I open up Word and type in the word and see if I get it wrong and if I do, I right click the word and get some suggestions. If I don't get the suggestion that I want, I check Dictionary.com (which also has a thessaurus function so I can look up similar words to try and find the word I want if I am slaughtering the spelling).
-
Yes. But just for a few words. But I don't like Google Toolbar, although it has a spellchecker, because I find that it takes too much resources from IE. For normal spellchecking in an official brief, I use Word for Windows. For AB, I look in Google for words I am not so sure about. I have rather positive feedback about my spelling. Particularly when people notice that I am not a native speaker. An some people here use very curious dialects, I think most ABers will find it less annoying to read my writing.
-
no my browser auto checks for me =D
-
yessss and alot even for the stupidest spelling Flash Back how do you spell swallow??.....sallow or something like that....double l or w, ill go to google! ONE TIME I EVEN FORGOT HOW TO SPELL GOOGLE!! -_- not a fun day
-
no, i use Firefox or Safari and it tells me if i made a spelling mistake.
-
All the time!!
-
Google is my preferred search engine but Firefox does all my spell checking for me. Since it's lexicon is so limited, I have literally added thousands of words to my personal FF database.
-
Like every day. Other people do this? LL!
-
Only when the computer is on, other than that i use my Seiko SII American Heritage Dictionary.
-
no I have dictionary.com search field in my toolbar
-
Yup, all the time. I never really thought about it though. Great question, it made me smile.
-
No. I use Microsoft Word.
-
I use firefox for spellcheck
-
More often than I would like to admit. ^_^
-
I have in the past and I probably will in the future.
-
I used to be an excellent speller, but old age or something crazy set in, and now I have to google just about every word. Well, maybe not every word. I did manage to write this without googling. Oh God! I hope i've spelt everything right. he he!
-
nope, instead download free spell check program and add it under tools on IE, that way I just type every thing out then at the end click the spell check, it work just like the one in Microsoft word. found at www.snapfiles.com go to freeware section
-
My brain and my good sense.
-
Just me!
-
A dictionary and common sense
-
Google spell check.
-
just me mr.liar
-
I DON'T I JUST TYPE IT AND THEN SOMEONE TELLS ME HOW TO SPELL IT
-
I have Firefox spell check on.
-
I'm an excellent speller, but if I really don't know, I look it up in a dictionary. (or on dictionary.com...you know.)
-
me im pretty decent, sometimes i forget which is the british spelling vs. american spelling so i use the dictionary. might get my friend or mom, possibly a teacher to look over my essays for mistakes. or, i will use spell check :)
-
my speeling is so gud, that I dun need it. But for real, copy/paste into MS Word or other word processing program if it comes down to it.
-
If the program I'm using offers one, I'll use that. But mostly, I just proofread it myself. I have an eagle eye.
-
I ussse MS woordd :)
-
Spell check, my computer, or a dictionary.
-
I re-read it myself, then if the word in question still doesn't look right, I use a dictionary. Spell check is great for spelling but, as my daughter found out the hard way, collage and college are both words. ;-)
-
Only on words Firefox doesn't know how to spell. It handles all common English words but can't help with sceintific terms, drug names, foreign languages, proper nouns, etc.
-
