As a high school teacher I will tell my students to never rely on spell check because it will often steer you wrong. Technology is great, but students still have to have the know-how without it. Oftentimes, spell check becomes a way for a student to avoid learning how language works. When a student is presented with unfamiliar material, they don't know how to parse what they are reading
much better to have, even though most people don’t make a rough copy because they’re too lazy. This lethargy is due to the advanced technology of computers. Also, almost all programs are equipped with a spell-check. Spell-check is, in other words, a dictionary without the definition.

Today, spell check is very important and is used every day in Microsoft word and in search engines. In this paper I will discuss how spell check works. [1] 2.

If you were to ask some high school students, “Have you ever looked up a sports score or checked your Twitter feed in class on your phone or computer?” what do you think their answer would be? The answers from most, if not all, of the students would be “yes”. Technology use has drastically increased over the past few years, and this dramatic increase is having its effects on classrooms. With online textbooks, homework, and lectures, it is inevitable for it to have an effect. Technology is rising

produce written texts from many different genres. Pens and paper have been forgotten. Has the formal process of writing also been forgotten? Have word processors changed the way people write – permanently (I misspelled that word and fixed it using spell check)?

If you keep going back to fix your errors, then you are going to waste a lot of your time, and you are going to make your writing process a lot longer and harder. The only times you should go back and change a word or two is when you have written a correctly spelt typo. These are not going to be picked up by your spelling and grammar checker, and there is also a risk that you will

I am able to spell a range of words without help of others or spell checker, this is because throughout my education I have learned how to spell. Though I have the knowledge to spell a range of words I often still need the help of spell check and from others to spell words.

I have no idea how to open this damn thing and every time I think about what to do fast writing comes to mind when fast writing I need to spell out the words in my head and all I can think about is why I spell the words out in my head and not sound them out. Is that normal? Back to interstellar how do I open this thing? What is my thesis? I kind of wish I had watched the movie more recent. Yeah its long but it kept me watching in theaters honestly I don’t remember it being overly visually stunning…looking

important spelling and proofreading are. Many people often submit papers, essays without checking and proofreading them first. Nowadays, the problem with misspelling is getting worse, since people depend on a computer’s spellcheck. But even a spell checker will not catch all the mistakes in a text. More specifically, it will not add words if you forget to add them or it will not catch misspelings that form other valid words. And that is the reason why proofreading is very important.
