• As I work freelance I have a common set of tasks when starting at a new place as it occurs so frequently. (Assuming MS Outlook but I also assume that most equivalent tools have equivalent features) These include setting the default view of my work calendar for anyone to be as read only (if I want something private I will set it as such) and setting the spell checker to run before sending an email. If I am in too much of a rush to go through the spell checking process when sending an email then I can press cancel and send regardless. As this is an active decision, I can make the call. Rarely is the risk of poor perception and mis-communication outweighed by the need to fire off the email 30 seconds earlier. I just wish there was a "Spellcheck on Save" and "Spellcheck on Print" options in wordprocessors.

    For posters here there is a button between the "Post Reply" and "Preview" button. It is labeled "Spell Check". I would suggest that we all consider using it. Whilst I am sure that many people will think that my opinions and posts are invalid or a little skewed by my own experiences or perhaps my language a little too "English", do you think anyone thinks other posts are troll-like rants due to spelling mistakes?
