I agree about the pour spelling (see what I did there?)
But a spellchecker probably wouldn't have picked up the mis-use of 'anti'. (It probably would have found 'enterence' though.)

yes that is true
and i was going to mention it. but i feared that might be just a little TOO anal ;)

actually, i think the spellcheckers today should be smart enough to pick up on phrases as well as words, and change "up / upped the anti" to its proper form.

same goes for anti-natal clinics. arrrrrgh what the fuck did you learn in school people?

nah.
I have to use a specially designed spell checker for that. Firefox's built in one usually works for me, but Read and Write by texthelp systems is good at phrases.


But sometimes I forget to turn it on.
