Is it just me or is the spell checker missing?

Ram it has not been working for me either.

If you right click your mouse on your words during REVIEW, it should underline and place in red, words that need attention.

Yep, it's missing.  All the above are spelt correctly it seems.  It never even tried to correct "spelt" to the American "spelled".   :)

Anyway, from the spelling we've see on this board it seems that many people never ever bothered with the spell checker, even when it was working.    ;D

Roger-

Not to burst your bubble or argue that the spell checker still exists but "spelt" shouldn't be picked up by a spell checker. It's a real English word, a type of grain, similar to wheat but not as well respected.

Thanks for the update, appreciate it.  Did not know of that use of the word.  To me, it's always been the past tense of "Spell", so you live and learn.   :)

Mine seems to be using auto correct as I write, but I'm using a kindle now.
