Spell Check
Will Spell Check benefit you in the long run?
When you get a word wrong,
several corrections come up and you are asked to choose one of them. But there is
sometimes where you don’t choose a correction due to the context the work is
in. This can be really helpful if spelling is one of your weaknesses. But what
are the disadvantages?
For example, when you are
going through your work after you have finished it you will be checking for any
errors so you will be able to improve your work. When a word is wrong you have
a set of options to change it to the correct spelling, so you will choose the
correct spelling, however, this could make the sentence not make any sense.
Another disadvantage is that
if you are on a mobile device you will have auto correct, which means if a word
is wrong it will change to another word which can make a small message
difficult to send.
Also the language settings you
have on Microsoft Office allows you to only have one language which means you
cannot put e.g. a Spanish word in the word document without the document saying
you have spelt it wrong. This would mean it would be hard to quote a certain
word in another language without having it come up as incorrect.
Many names and words are
also not in the Microsoft Office dictionary which means they will come up as incorrect
so you will have to put them into the dictionary. So when you are typing it
could change to the word you put in the dictionary. Also the word could be
spelt wrong so when you put it in the dictionary the misspelt word will
appear.
Another disadvantage is that
it will not sort out the grammar for you so the words could be spelt properly but
the sentence could not make sense. This is a weakness because if you do not
proof read it the grammar will be wrong.
