Don't you just Hate it?

You spend hours writing a new blog for your website, add some fantastic photo's, go over and over it to make sure it's perfect.

Yep, it looks absolutely perfect.

Can't see a thing wrong with it.

THEN.

You push the....

Wait For It....

THE

Spell Check button.

You thought I was going to say the Publish Button.. Didn't you?

You should know better by now...you must always do a spell check.

Why?

The spelling Nazis's will attack you...

There are other reasons, but I'll leave them up to you to think about.

In Any Case!

So you're expecting maybe 2 to 3 mistakes.

An Easy fix

But!!!!!!!

Instead,!!

There are 1,998,235 of them.

Yes...every word, phrase, expression, Latin name...is wrong.

So you spend another few hours fixing them.

Finally, you hit publish

Your beautiful work of art goes, clean as a whistle, no mistakes....Nah...not one.

Mr spell check doesn't make mistakes

So your work jumps from Site content to WordPress.

You check it out in WordPress ...and.

What are all those strange words ?

It's been converted to Martian.

OK.. You can fix it.

Do another spell check on WordPress.

Finally you finish your absolutely beautiful piece of work and you click on Update.

WOW!!

At Long Last,...

It's done.

Eagerly you click on your website to check out the final, finished, perfect article.

And there it is in all it's glory.

WHAT!!!

Who placed those misspelled words there.

It must be the Misspelling Imp.

All the best my friends. Jim

Spell check is a wonderful thing, but it can also be a nightmare, auto correcting words to random unrelated ones. I also have a nightmare with WA spell check, as I write in UK English so have all those extra spellings to double check. Believe me that misspelling imp checker really makes me doubt my brain many a time! I now keep a dictionary on my desk : )

Yes, I have constant issues Sara.

That cheeky imp is everywhere. You have to watch, too, after you use the spell check that it didn't miss a word or two. If you use the wrong word in a post and it is actually a genuine word, spell check will think it is okay.. Therefore, it is not only important to use spell check, but it is also important to read the post again after you have done your check. Example: I just found the word "bit" in my last published post. The correct word was "big." Of course, spell check didn't catch it, because it was still a word.

Yes, those misinterpreted words are an issue as well. Must be a different imp. Jim

Lol Yep, I have to do a spell check a few times. Even then...

Sounds like most of us have the same issues. Jim

spell check, then Grammarly, Grammarly again...Never fails

I remember when I first tried to find the Grammarly plugin. I spelt it Grammerly. Jim

🤣 Yep, been there too!

LOL!! That's funny. I do it every time. Exactly as you listed in your post...it never fails one or two always get by the spell-check.

What makes it worse is I even read through the post at least once and don't find mistakes...but then after you publish and/or update...there they are...in all their glory.

You're right, there must be an imp doing the dirty work. LOL!

There certainly has to be Bob. I know it can't be me. Jim

Of course it isn’t you...😂😂

Very helpful post.
Thanks Jim

Thank you.

I don't ever have THAT MANY mistakes but I still get quite a few when I hit THAT button.

I get the same result when I move it to WordPress. Fewer but they are still there so I fix them and then I change the font and... wait... there is a few more AND they didn't get changed to the new font.

Well... you know the routine. I guess we just have to deal with it, ho-hum, and move on :(

Technology, you have to love it... most of the time?
