I never knew there was an icon for spell check. It always popped in automatically when I misspelled a word.

Guess I have gotten to be a better speller than I was. Or I am using smaller words to be understood.

My wife's my spell checker. I ask her all the time how to spell a word.

It is never “duck”
I don't spell well but I smell swell.
Spell checker can be my worst enema.
I still have a Webster's Encyclopedic dictionary on my desk, though I haven't opened it in years. The "squiggle" clues me to spell check, and usually it's the ones I've never done well - i before e, etc. Now, otherwise, my phone substitutes words for what I type in texts, and I have to go back and fix it. I hate AI.
I turned Predictive Text off on my phone.
Misspelled words aren't a deal breaker here as I have yet to misinterpret anyone's meaning.
Which is why I will never fully trust Spell Check. I am the Secretary for a town commission, and responsible for creating and submitting minutes for each meeting I attend. I end up with at least three drafts for any meeting minutes I create. I will put each draft through a spell check, but then I will go really Luddite old school by doing a line by line review with a straightedge. And between Spell Check and review with a straightedge it takes a minimum of three drafts to catch all the typos, wrong words, bad syntax and non-sensical phrases. With the format I use the minutes come out to 4-7 pages and can easily take 4 hours to create.Their wuz a sellchecker?

Most browsers have that option built in. As a renown slaughter of words, mine is always turned on, no matter what browser I am using.
