Did you ever spell a word so bad that your spell check has absolutely no clue what you're trying to spell? What do you end up getting, you end up getting, like, a question mark. You got a million dollars of technology just looking back at you like, 'You got me, buddy. Which is pretty amazing because I have all the words.'
I'll write you a check. I'll write you a check. How do you spell Sheamus?

Americans are good with to-do lists; just tell us what to do, and we'll do it. Throughout our history, we have proven that. Colonize. Check. Win our independence. Check. Form a union. Check.

The only sovereign I can allow to rule me is reason. The first law of reason is this: what exists exists; what is is. From this irreducible, bedrock principle, all knowledge is built. This is the foundation from which life is embraced. Reason is a choice. Wishes and whims are not facts, nor are they a means to discovering them. Reason is our only way of grasping reality–it is our basic tool of survival. We are free to evade the effort of thinking, to reject reason, but we are not free to avoid the penalty of the abyss we refuse to see." -Richard
If you have to go back and spell-check the text you're about to send, you're saying too much.
There's a special gut-check moment the first time you write a scene in which somebody casts a spell.
Man must not check his reason by tradition, but, contrariwise, must check tradition by reason.
Careful the spell you cast, not just on children. Sometimes the spell may last Past what you can see And turn against you... Careful the tale you tell. That is the spell.
I never thought I'd write one book, let alone three. I'm absolutely delighted and every night, thank the good lord for spell check.
Spell-check ruins my work. It fixes all my slang and dialect into standard English. So I'm caught in a tangle of technology that feels very foreign to me.
I hate the computer. I hate their spell-check. I won't ever do e-mail.
If Al Gore invented the Internet, I invented spell check.
