Spelling Correction

Remember that contextual spelling tip posted last week?  Well, I just realized it gets even better!

First a recap:

Right clicking (or control clicking) in a text field gives you a contextual menu to get to Apple's Spell Checker dialog box in OS X.

Now the cool part:

If you first highlight the word you think needs correction, Apples Spell checker puts the corrected spelling of that word right at the top of the contextual menu, so you don't even have to go to the spell check's dialog box!

I think this is the feature that finally creates the mass exodus from Windows to Mac!  WOW.gif

That was wierd! I thought I had hit the Post Reply button, and after a momentary distraction, I looked at the screen and my message was still there staring back at me. I added more and hit Post Reply. Sorry about that for all of you who were born in 1894....

Ya gotta applaud those bunnies for sacrificing their hearing just so some guy in Cupertino can have better TV reception.

P.S. Watch my post count and see if you can catch me when it's the year of your birth. Who's first?
