Re: Spell Checker

Yes, never write before three cups of cofee or after three pints of beer.
But, seriously, if writing a proper letter or article, I read through it afterwards, perhaps leaving a day before re-checking and printing - e-mailing is a different matter: you read through it but don't see the mistakes in something you've just written.
It's not just spelling - I know that I've written things that seemed to make perfect sense but the next day looked at them and thought, 'What's that load of gibberish about?'!
