Some Internet browsers actually have a built-in spell-check feature. As far as I can tell, it’s the default setting for them.
So, much like in MS Word, when you type an unusual word, or have a typo, or a misspelled word, the spell-check feature will underline that word in red.
Neat, huh? So why the HELL are there so many online posts with typos and misspelled words?
Some people can barely post TWO words without a typo or a misspelling.
Others, by not using punctuation or initial caps, and including multiple typos, “Text message” abbreviations and “Internet spelling,” produce messages that look, at best, like some kind of stenographer’s shorthand, or at worst, like they type with their feet.
“But it’s just the Internet.” (See my earlier post for comment on this.)
It’s LAZY. And you can’t convince me that some who is that lazy online is that fastidious off-line.
Lazy is lazy. Or, if you are one of the people I’m talking about, it’s “Layz,” “Layze” or or maybe even “LA-Z.”
(By the way, while I strive to always spell-check and proofread, sometimes errors get by me. It’s tough to proof your own copy- especially if it’s more than just a few lines. So if you catch an error, a typo, let me know. I’ll fix it. I’m that way. But please note that some grammar and spelling is purposely not correct –for effect or to make a point.)
