English Tip - Using a spell checker

Computers can correct spelling mistakes. Many word processing programs contain a spell-check program, they are wonderful! Some programs can correct the spelling of up to 80,000 words and this can save you time and worry, but there are problems with computer spell-checkers.

1. They only work if you can spell quite well already. 2. They cannot correct mistakes which are just wrong words e.g.
there/their - to/two/too etc.

3. They can't check all foreign words, special invented words or


unusual speech dialects e.g. bon appetite! http://www.learn-english-online.org
