Yes, you're right.  When I mentioned the spell-checking that I personally
do, it involves copying and pasting from MS Word.  Some computers don't
even allow for such a thing.  Guess I jumped the gun on that one.

have to struggle with the language barrier (especially when reading stuff
written by idiots like me :-)
