It's a miracle!!!
« on: March 27, 2013, 10:17:16 AM »
Last week the computer updated itself and evidently part of the update was a new version of Internet Explorer. It has some sort of whiz bang feature that autocorrects misspellings of common words. As many of you know, I cannot type the word "the" correctly to save my life....but now I can't type it incorrectly even if I want to. t e  h  is my usual spelling but if I type it that way it corrects it as soon as I hit the space bar.
 And if I misspell any other word it instantly gets underlined in red so I can correct it. Willis however it thinks is correct for Willys. Not that I ever use Willis.

No more dyslexic typing!! At least for that one word...  8-) 8-) ;D

Amazing! Bill has joined the 21st century and we can all understand him now too! �;D Were you using IE one before the update? �;) �;D

My mac doesn't do that, which is fine. I get a red line under misspelled words. So I don't have to worry about it switching Willys to Willis. It does put a red line under Willys though.

You can zoom in with them smart phone thingys.  ;)

I have an iPhone. Sometimes it is really annoying because it changes words and it doesn't make sense why it chooses that particular word.  >:( And I have contractor fingers, so I always type the wrong letter on it too. I will say, it is nice having a good camera and internet. I use it a lot for our line of work.

Wait one or two year and you will be able to get the new glass from Google.
