Don't Forget to Spell Check
- stonemetal 15y agoI worked with a guy who spelled poorly, ran spell check and shall we say didn't verify the results. I would get the most amusing emails because you could tell spell check had been run(all the words were spelled correctly) but the output of spell check hadn't been semantically verified. Kind of like mad libs or a crossword puzzle gone awry. I wonder if it would be useful to have a spell checker that displayed definitions and parts of speech next to the suggested spelling. That way you could know with a little more certainty which was the correct spelling. It has gotten me in to the habit of double checking against dictionary.com when ever I use a spelling corrector and have the slightest doubt about the results.
