    Default Spellcheck.

    Have any of you chaps found that spellcheck is not working on your posts?

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

    Is there really such a thing? I've always gone back and proofread my posts and sometimes I find a typo.

    I may be wrong Dobbs, but was sure that I had been underlined before when the American spelling disagreed with my olde English.

    Sent this to my wife who is a grade 3 teacher. She said it reflects her life reading the writing of her students.

    Usually the spellchecker is in your browser. Did you make sure you use it after your PC change, Rob?

    That I did not Jonas, I will have a look and see if it copied over OK. Windows 10 seems to be intent on changing all my settings.

    Speaking of spellchecking, Rob, to aid in obfuscation, at the beginning of the 3rd line in the 4th stanza, I believe "It's" should be replaced with "Its". This would maintain a conformity of error s.
