I always turn it off too - if I have a mental block, I just look THE word up! Incidentally, you can change THE 'English US' setting to THE 'English UK' I've just had to do it after re-installing everything on my new hard drive.All the best - Glutton 4 Punishment

I proof-read survey reports (OH types his own, so I get to proofread) and I like having Word set to highlight what it thinks are errors, but let me decide what to do about them. Sometimes it is obvious he has been 'autocorrected', when a word doesn't make sense (or, more often, simply isn't a word he would use in a report) but isn't highlighted as a spelling error. I'm glad we don't have to share a computer!Flowers come in too many colours to see the world in black-and-white.

Consider printer ink, biro ink and especially time saved by not using definite article - shorter letters, shorter speech - does anyone have stats? time saved in week, month, year? Can someone work it out?
Meantime I'll put feet up and have cup of tea.
Just read above and feel pretty silly 'cause it reads pretty silly.

Eye have a spelling chequer,
It came with my pea sea,
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss takes eye can knot sea.
Eye strike the quays and type a
Word and weight four it two say,
Weather I am rite oar wrong, it
Shows me strait aweigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid it
Nose bee four two long.
And eye can put the error rite –
It’s rare lea ever wrong.
I’ve run this poem threw it,
Eye am shore yore pleas two no,
It’s letter perfect in its weigh,
My chequer told me sew.
