You know you are a bad speller when.....


Recommended Posts

You know you are a bad speller when you type a word in Firefox and it doesn't get underlined, so you think something must be wrong. You couldn't possibly have typed that word correctly on the first try. So you back space and start adding a bunch of letters onto the word to see if the spell checking is actually working. You add the letters to the end of the word and low and behold it gets underlined in red. That means everything is working correctly and you nailed the spelling of the word on the very first try!

I'm dyslexic and I thought that was hilarious!

Lo and behold :) (Not the grammar police, it's just relevant to the topic)

:laugh: that's good.

Wouldn't that make you a good speller?

Are you new here? Who are you arguing with? ;) :p

    • I'm still rocking iOS 25.x on my primary phone cuz iOS 26 still has usability quirks (mostly aesthetic and thus its UX) which I don't wanna deal with -- and I've been piloting them with all of these updates on my backup phone, so I'm well aware of its "improvements" since iOS 26 was first released (compared to version 26.5.x).
