From: Argent Stonecutter Actually, that should be "spelling-checker", I believe. "Spell" as a noun refers to magic, or a dysfunctional state of mind, or a short period of time. No, you are wrong. 'Spelling checker' (without the hyphen) is correct to describe what the thing does. But 'spellchecker' is how many of these programs describe themselves, and is a useage that is so common it must be considered acceptable. In my opinion, of course. |

Blimey - I have just realised I have been responding to a resurrected thread. *slaps self* I must learn to look at dates on postings.

I don't give a damn for a man that can only spell a word one way.
