Thanks for sharing, Indeed a good tools for checking typo error. The only problem is it didn't indicate where exactly the misspelling errors located.

That's where the old fashioned people comes in handy. People are much better at this sort of thing.

The only thing I found lacking was that it doesn't tell you which pages you need to review, so it can be a little time consuming trying to track any reported errors, but well worth checking out, nonetheless.

um... yeah, I do. Funny how it's not always appreciated.

I also question interesting sales or contest offers:

2 twin packs of film for $...
so I get 4 rolls then?
No, you get 2.
It says 2 twinpacks which means 4 rolls. each twinpack has 2 rolls - hence 'twin' & you are offering 2 of them for $...
Sign comes down & gets changed pronto.

Buy this and win...
Ok, I bought this, when do I get my...
Um...

Stationery is what you write on.

And then there are graphic designers (like myself) who also loathe typos like that one. But there are typos and then there is just plain bad spelling. I personally find misappropriated apostrophes (apostrophe's anyone?) the most upsetting!

Apostrophes.... just wish people that use them would would learn how & where first. If they can't, they should leave them for those that can.
Why waste them?

This article was quite chuckle worthy about the word 'a lot'.

Wow, what a great tool!

I am very impressed.

I was initially very concerned by all the spelling mistakes.

Fortunately it just turned out the be industry terms such as:
e-learning, MYOB, iPhone, login.

Perhaps you need to incorporate an add to dictionary function.

Cheers,
