    spelling corrections- is this just happening on my PC?

    Over the last few days I notice that sometimes when I am replying to a post and I misspell a word, it gets magically corrected for me, but not all the time. We recently did an update on our PC but I have never had those have any bearing on websites I visit.
    Just wondering, is this happening for anyone else or is it a result of our update? Kind of random.

    Nope, I just tried a few common errors and I just get the little red squiggly line that shows me it is a typo, but forces me to right-mouse click and pick the correction or gasp, type it right myself!

    Hmm, nope it either fixes it for me or leaves the red squiggly which I also think is new. I don't remember that before, in my emails but not here. And it doesn't give me any word options at all. Huh, has that always been there? I just misspelled a word and then right clicked, never knew you could do that! Thanks, Heather!

    ok, I just tried it spelling what and I had wh and then reversed the a and t and it fixed it for me. So weird!

    My tablet gives me the fixing option but, as far as I know, my PC does not....

    Kathy, are you on your Kindle when this happens? My Kindle has the auto correct feature. But I haven't noticed anything when on the Shack thru my regular old computer.

    Nope, on our desktop that I am always on. Hard to pry the Kindle out of David's hands these days. He thinks it's his.

    My IPad autocorrects. I have red squiggly lines on this post already.
    Guess we don't have that on this site.
    The FaceBook autocorrecting drives me crazy, as it sometimes picks totally other words from what I meant!!! LOL
