One such program has been my Google Spell Check program attached to the Google TaskBar.....It has recently stopped functioning, after one of the latest Windows updates......on both of my Operating Systems?!
Why, I don't know? But, I can't spell kat without it!  |
Well, Fearless Leader, I have concluded that the dreaded Microsoft are a perfidious and nefarious multi-tentacled critter, so our mutual annoyances can well be imagined to be their doing. Sometimes Moriarty has nothing on these dudes.
I have only recently acquired this new notebook, but I had a bit of a struggle finding it, as I did NOT want to be a guinea-pig and be lumbered with that new touchy-feely W8. Finding one loaded with W7 was not easy. Unless you have a computer built, it seems no longer possible to get the excellent, stable and reliable XP.
ave atque vale.
Anyway, Cap'n. I been meanin' ta ask ye, with all that spinach you consume, how is it you got knighted as 'Scurvy'. Now, it was only 2 years ago in Sydney, while I was lodging in a nice sea-side hostel for a spell, that I came across two very sick and sorry young American lads in their early twenties. They had been touring around Aus for about 9 months and were getting progressively worse. We finally persuaded them to see a doc (yes, we actually have such things!). They were pretty bloody sheepish when they came back, I can tell you! Yep, you guessed it, scurvy! from a steady, almost exclusive diet of 2-minute Noodles. First and only time I'd ever heard of anyone actually having it. So. What's your story?

PS don't feel too bad about not being able to spell without your checker. When typing fast, I too may misspell 'kak' - I thought your use of the term for parrot-droppings as a description was quite apt, though unusual and not employed nearly frequently enough. (That IS what you were trying to type, wasn't it?)
