Spellcheckers? Who thought it was a good idea that you have to type in a word, to find out how to spell it ?

@Extelec I've got to say that is one advantage to those voice assistance things.

"Hay google how do you spell 'aardvark'" is a underrated function

@emily_s Not for me, I know how to spell aardvark. but I do see your point :)

@Extelec brought to you by the makers of Dictionary, where you find out how a word is spelled via looking it up by its spelling

@Extelec the word knows how it's spelled, because it knows how it *isn't* spelled

@ferrix if it knows this, it should tell people.

@ferrix Yes, this the whole spelling model is flawed.

@Extelec words used to have whatever spelling the writer wanted. Fixed spelling is a conspiracy by big dictionary to sell more dictionary

@ferrix I used to suggest this fact when I was at school, Strangely it was "no excuse"

But they still taught the "I before E except after C" bull regardless of me pointing out it was useless.

@Extelec "I before E except when it's not"
