Not a chance, but I trust my vocabulary more than than a machine that can't tell the difference between "they're" and "their" :-)

Good point

I don't trust my spelling .. it stinks

It wasn't till my youngest went to school did I realize what my problem was.

She, as I did .. learned to spell by sounding out words

Just one problem .. it doesn't help when one has an accent and do not pronounce words properly

With my next daughter .. I told her to just memorize the letters of the words .. it was safer and she is a better speller for it too .. *L*

I honestly don't remember how I learned to spell, but there are photographs of me dragging out various food products and placing them next to the picture-less ad in the paper at the tender age of 1.
