[Sca-cooks] spelling checkers

[Terry Decker]

Don't know about Facebook, but in Windows, spell check can usually be 
located through the ABC button on the tool bar or by locating File >Options 
 >(possibly application name) >Spelling and Auto Check.  Word (I believe) has 
gone to File >Options >Proofing.

Character alteration is probably an issue of different ASCII translation 
tables being used in the sending and receiving machines.  It was a real 
problem before the introduction of the Unicode standards in 1991.  What is 
probably happening is one of the PCs is using the (obsolete) USC-2 and UTF-8 
which don't have a precise overlap.  UTF-16 became the standard in 2000(?). 
There are still a lot of back-level systems and applications out there.

How? where do you do this? I’m getting rather tired of spelling checkers 
(mostly on Facebook?) that not only keep changing (wrongly) what I write to 
something else, but I’m even more upset at the ones that keep changing it 
back to the wrong item after I correct it!

as question marks? That didn’t used to be the case)
