Have you ever had the fleeting thought: "Really? No misspelled words? Wow, my spelling must be improving." I have a Yahoo! account for my email. I after editing, and rewriting part of a 700 word resume I was about to send out to a potential client, I hit that little spell check button. It told me I was clear, no misspelled words. "Great!" I thought to myself. But then it dawned on me. Yahoo! ALWAYS tells me that my last name (Akers) is misspelled. Not this time. So I went to a sight that I recently discovered: SpellCheck.net. All I had to do was copy my email and paste it into SpellCheck and *poof* there were all of my mistakes for me to correct.
Another great resource is dictionary.com. This one is pretty self explanatory. Sometimes I just like to have a second opinion, other than the spellchecker.
Hope this helps. Has anyone had any similar experiences with their spellchecker?
