I am being too dependent on spell checkers

I just noticed that i have become like that, sometimes i even forget the correct spelling of long words since i just type whatever and use the spell checker, since most sites have it now- even mylot. i just right click on the underlined word to find the correct spelling.. which just sucks . Does anyone have the same problem..? I guess i will just try to stop using it and type everything.

i don't think that spell checkers sucks. I really can help us improve the way we write our articles. Although I would also agree with you that relying so much on spellcheckers could also make us dull (in spelling manners). So I think, we could use spell checkers, albeit we should not abused using it. We should also need to try re read our articles before submitting it.

No, I don't really have the same problem. I am very careful about my spelling. That is probably because I remember how my grammar classes in primary school were very strict in their lessons. Every so often we would even have pop quizzes on spelling. I remember hating it so much, but now I am glad they did do it. I prefer not always using an additional resource other than my mind to check spelling. It becomes too tedious for me to always check my spelling, which influenced to just learn to spell the word correctly once learning it.

Yes, your right it's really a big help but sometimes we became too dependent on it. Anyway, it's more helpful especially to those people who types faster and continue with their work without proof reading it. The red line really helps but I just hope I could stop using it too.

I found that I am much more conscious about spelling stuff because I work as a writer... but sometimes, I too, get dependent on spell checkers especially when there's a lot to do. .
