"Can'tSpell" Check

    • Has anyone noticed that spell check, on both computer and phone, is horrendous? It never gives the correct suggestion, and puts an 's' on the word when it does!

    It never was like this in the past.

    • Actually...No.

    I keep seeing memes and complaints about horrendous spell check errors but I seldom see anything like this.  I don't have a smart phone, so I don't see this on my phone, but almost every time my computer flags a misspelling, the suggestions are almost always correct.

    I have a different issue. I find right clicking on a word to fix with left click doesn't always register, forcing me to make several attempts...

    • Wow, I had no idea there were memes and public outcries. So I'm not the only one. The problem I'm experiencing slows down writing. I'm at the point now where I just correct things the old way. It's slow but faster than "spell wreck."

    • And why doesn't my Apple phone recognize the word "Confabulations," which Fr. Wathen once used in a sermon?  con-fabula, "A throwing together of fables," or said plainly, a "collection of lies."
