One of the simplest things to try is to open a post to reply, then just use every key on the keyboard, shifted and unshifted, then you can see just where every letter, symbol is. You don't need to post it, just click on the 'my profile' , takes you off the page without posting,
:goodpost::thumbsup:thanks

They only think they have her locked up, remember she's a witch, so can get out at any time, and convince the guards she is still in there.

Yes, used in many places where secretarial work is taut, my ex taught word processing, and all her students were given it to look carefully at, and then decide that they shouldn't rely on it.

I can spell, but I don't give a tinkers cuss about other people's spelling unless I am marking an assignment and then I expect them to have made an effort.
However as far as I am concerned my Graammar is in bed with Granfer!:rofl:
