Do you ever have one of those days? You know, the ones where you are at work, doing your job as a technical writer, and you suddenly realize that Microsoft Word is not spell checking your documents?
And with the error you just found (Waranty? How is Waranty an acceptable word?) in the title of your document, you know that it hasn't been working for over a month at the very least? And you know how you have written and updated hundreds of documents during that time?
Here's to the three hours I spent fixing that one mistake... in the dozens of pdf bundles that form is included in. And here's to many more opening all of the documents I've created lately (once IT actually gets the problem fixed) and checking them.

I did my entire last season of pageant editing for my website without spell check on.I sent many emails of apology. I feel your pain!
And why is there even a spell check off function? Like I want misspell thinks?
Ouch!
You mean you actually expect the IT team where you work to fix something, really??? Where have you been working for the last two years that I am unaware of? p.s. I know that this is a really delayed reply...
