Just found out that the Vista on my Laptop has a Spellcheck facility at the top of the page, for any text you're typing, even on sites like this! Another example of me slowly catching up with the technical age!

Don’t think that that your spell-check can save you. Don’t.

I think you'll find it was a life saver! I was extremely tired and emotional when I wrote that, and there were lots of funny corrections you'll now never see.
In time they'll have 'Conky being dense-checks', but small steps to begin with, small steps!

Does it also have a grammar checker, specifically an apostrophe checker?
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

She might be lost. She might be confused. She might be about to buy you a present of a bottle of Cruz Ruby. Hence somebody must check up on her.
