Spell checker

So, as has been extensively pointed out to me, the spelling in my first blog was appalling ! This is made doubly worse as bad spelling is one of my biggest pet hates. (Disclaimer to a guy I was dating recently: it wasn’t your dyslexia that put me off !)



I therefore apologise profusely for my disrespectful use of the beautiful English language. In my defence though, I did knock up my first post in about four minutes ! I now have a dilemma though. Do I, as was suggested, use a spell checker, thus becoming lazy in my attention to proper English and probably ending up with worse spelling, or attempt to make do without one, try harder to improve my writing (I have a written exam in a few months and I am concerned I may have forgotten how to use a pen and paper and write an essay !), but risk looking a bit dumb because I mis-spelled ? (Long sentences are another of my bad habits !)


Well I’ve decided, I am going to go it alone. So here is my plea, I am not dense, I have a bachelors degree, am a practising scientist and able mathematician. But in commitment to good English, am currently experimenting with not using a spell checker. So I will be re-reading my blogs as often as you !
