I did spell it wrong! I was wondering and betting on you!
Well, as you can imagine, I did notice it, but I normally make a deal out of it only under certain circumstances... Btw, Firefox checks spelling as you go just like Word. Underlines errors immediately. To be honest, my spelling's gotten pretty bad, too. I almost always run spell check.

We might be better off just the way we are! Familiarity breeds contempt.

I don't even know if I can use spell check here on CD from the work computer so it's all in cold blood, all the time.
AksarbeN, how strange is this? With the exception of the double-sided fridge and all the stuff on it, your kitchen's layout looks almost like mine! I have the pantry on the left side of the fridge, and on the right there's a counter, with my microwave on it, with cabinets above them!
Now I know who’s been taking my beer from the frig! You’re close enough and you know your way around the house. Something tells me I’ve caught the culprit!
HI Karla, Just wandered in from...Hey, I have hundreds of magnets on my frig.Covers the entire front and sides.I had so many that a few years ago I gave about 100 away!Some, I made myself of people I know,ie,their photo with a magnet behind it.Some, are from places I've traveled to. Some,just picked up along the way.Oh, I'd love to get the rep points for the picture which I'll take right now.The problem,I still cannot load photos or anything else on the screen! Do I still get the reps?!
I hate it when there are so many magnets on the frig that when I walk by it, my belt buckle gets attracted to the door and my pants fall down around my knees before I can grab them and hold them up long enough to get the buckle pulled off the refrigerator. And all this without spilling a drop of coffee from the mug.
Mike,,, do you store bullets inside the frig.? Just a thought,,,, and had to ask.

CD's spell check is something you're supposed to download. I don't like this type and don't use it. I'm in a habit of having a new e-mail window open at all times where I check everything I type. Hey, for writing "in cold blood," you're perfectly fine, kitty!
Of course, spell checkers only check spelling, not stupidity and total illiteracy.. Even though I like sounding colloquial (most of the time) and bratty (almost always ), there's a huge difference between being bratty and being illiterate. The latter is something I don't have much respect for, particularly when we're talking native speakers...
Here's a little fun on the topic:
Spelling checker
Eye Halve a Spelling Chequer
Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rarely ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect in it's weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.
