    That's because it's one of the default auro-corrects in Micsrosft Word...

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Try writing it from the last letter back, that's what usually helps me.

    Using predictive text can be a right pain.
    I once sent "I'm in the Steve" rather than "I'm in the queue"

    2 months later still reminded of it everytime I am in the Steve queue

    I misspell loads of stuff, it can take me up to 5 minutes to check and recheck a post to make sure I don't look like a tool. It always back fires though spellchecker can't read my mind Your is as good as you in it's mind.

    I'm dislopsic though so I have an excuse, I maintain though that Forums like this are a great way of improving your English. My English has improved at least 469% since I left school (yes I was stupid! Was?) and started posting on the internet. So always point out peoples mistake and always, always despise text talk it must be wiped out at all costs!

    up until recently i always spelt receive as "recieve".

    id been spelling it wrong for years and didn't even realize.

    its all to do with that 'I' before 'E' except after 'C' crap.

    Did you end up in Norfolk, talking about some bootiful birds? ;)

    I mis-spell so many words, I can't think of any particular ones.

    But I lose it when I see others mis-spell lose as "loose", "when did I lose my loose change"
