It\'s about time!

Richiebee called me up this weekend asking how to spell \"dotage\".

And right after he hung up the phone, he forgot.

Agreed.

Tell Horsegoer he can start Posting again.

(Told me Horsegoer was not in the dictionary but I posted anyway)

Is it a specially configured spellcheck which will pick up the 3 most frequently
misspelled words on the Board:?

Lucas, Stevens, Jerkins?

Another great feature.

As to the comments about my alleged weekend spelling calls to Magic, and TG\'s
reference to my decreased mental function, all I can say is \"This is a tough
room.\"

And that after I held my tongue and refrained from making a comment about the
Belmont Stakes analysis being available for 25 cents on Friday!

Actually, JB, I thought that was some great exposure and I was very happy for
Team TG--and I was very shocked to see that despite your accurate and extensive
analysis, Ed Fountaine still picked CURLIN to win the Belmont.

richiebee - At first I thought there must have been another richiebee on the site . I didn\'t notice any spelling mistakes - but then again ,  I\'m legally blind , have  an eye infection and suppose to wear eye glasses for double vision . One time the spell checker on my old PC crashed so hard that I had to do a complete two disc system recovery - and then it still wouldn\'t work - \"Thank You Natalie\"  .  Wait until chuckles hears about spell check  ...

I\'m pretty sure I\'ve been a major transgressor with spellin. I can spell, but I don\'t proof read well. Too many Racing Form and Racing Times hours. But thanx.

I still think Allan Jerkins is a great trainer.

Testing...
 
Hope it works better than Microsoft Outlook. When I send my buddies e-mail about going to the Palm Beach Kennel Club (PBKC), Microsoft changes PBKC to PUBIC...

Bee-

I swear to you it was not a setup. Used the phone gag \'cause I just had to give JB a second chance at the d word. Though I would prefer not playing Dumont to his Groucho, damn if a beat later he didn\'t hit it on the button. But you\'re right. This is a tough room. Thanks for your light touch.

Magic (home pc)

[spell check update: it was OK with \"\'cause\", didn\'t know \"Groucho\" but had no problem with \"Dumont\" ... what kinda %~@7!^\' spell-check is that?????]
