Question

Does anyone else get a slight sense of pride/slight smile when spell check returns "no misspelled words"?

Answer 1

Not gonna lie, it does make me feel good.

I get the same kind of thrill from writing a paper single-spaced, and it has to be 8 pages or something, then double-spacing it.

I know, I lead the most exciting life ever. Be jealous. lol.

Answer 2

yes because Ive never really been any good at spellings :)

Answer 3

Well, I don't use spell checks, but it has never occured to me that spelling is anything to be particularly proud of.  I have noticed it seems to matter a lot to people on yahoo answers though, I think it must be an american thing.  i've never met an English person who thought that spelling mattered all that much.

I would have thought it would be more an occasion for pride if you had actually said something intelligent, rather than worrying about how it was spelled.

Answer 4

that day will never come for me ; (

Answer 5

totally. I think that my time in front of the computer (to use it for blogs, research, etc etc) paid off...

Answer 6

No, not really.Being as though I know how to spell words. You must do though.

Answer 7

No. I am not a woman.

Answer 8

Absolutely.  But I have to admit that my spelling has suffered a bit since the introduction of spell check.  I've always been a pretty good speller (for a guy) but I swear spell check has made me lazy.  Sometimes at work I find that I really don't try very hard  to spell correctly, especially if I'm really busy.  I just let spell check do it for me.

Answer 9

I have to brag here, I am awesome at spelling. I pretty much never have any misspelled words unless my fingers just got sloppy and made some typos. So that's kind of a normal occurrence for me.

Answer 10

I forget about spell check most of the time to be honest.  I only think about it when I have a word I'm not sure about and I run it to see if it's spelled right.  But if it's a hard word, I'm happy I got it right.
