I think this journalist needs some walnuts.

RT appreciated because this is a major life quality issue: the lack of spell checkers for Samsung tablet.

I use a Samsung Galaxy S9+ Tab (I strongly recommend against ever getting a Samsung device, for many reasons. Happy to elaborate further). This specific one doesn't have inbuilt spellchecker, confirmed with the Samsung support who fluffed around for ages before admitting only some models have it, you can't know unless if you bought this specific tablet, then blamed me for not doing research.

Firefox has completely disabled all Android spellcheckers, both inbuilt and extension.

I think what's happening now, is we are being forced to use the online ones that comes with monthly subscription that also sells your work to LLM training models.

I'm not a native English speaker. I'm also dyslexic.

Anyone found any ways around this? While I'd like to never use Microsoft Office Suit, at this point it seems like Microsoft is the least evil out of all the major players.

Anyone found a way of bypassing this? (Do not ask me to google it, google has fallen as a search engine for at least five years now, it's all SEO based irrelevant spam regardless of what your search term is).

#Apple advertising their own apps in the built-in dictionary!?

As a #dyslexic #author, the advent of #spellcheck and usually #autocorrect / #autocomplete has allowed my work to read much more professionally. I rely on the phone reading to me because diary and dairy look like the same word, though I know better. Today, I decided to use the Look Up feature to check if I got the right word.

This screenshot is what I found. Incidentally, I spelled the word right as you can see from context.

#BoostingIsSharing

A weird thing has happened on #OfficeLibre when #editing some text.

I put the file on a flash drive to transfer to another computer to #print.

So I'm making corrections to the printed copy and checking #spelling and I come across some spelling errors.

One is 'their' spelt as 'theyr' - which is weird because #spellcheck would have picked that up.

Anyway, when I went to the original file to edit and the spelling mistake isn't there. The word was spelt correctly.

Weird, no?

Dear #Spellcheck
I want to go on an art tour guided by you, now that you've informed me that 'Venus Anadyomene' should be 'Venus Nanomedicine.'
