Annie, one day when you least expect it, the batteries on your device will run out. Then you will have to spell words without spellcheck! Besides, connections disappear, luck is really preparation and compromised values eventually come back to bite.
I like both of your comments. I’ll commit the first to memory. As to the second, I recall when calculators first came out back in the 1970s. I paid $105.00 for mine, a small fortune at the time when I was earning around $6.00 per hour. Now far more powerful calculators are being sold for only a few bucks or being given free with some offers.
Of the free calculators I accumulated from vendors and company reps over the years, one was solar-powered and one had a clear plastic outer shell (you could see the chips and circuitry underneath) and flipped open sort of like a flip-phone or Star Trek Communicator.
No matter how well you can spell, you will always make mistakes from time to time, but spell check often suggests the wrong word(s) to me. In those times, if I didn’t know that the word(s) it was suggesting were wrong, I could end up with really odd sentences.
Annie should read “Owed to Spell Check.” When I taught classes in word processing s/w, I used to show students how they couldn’t rely on spell check to get them through everything.

Sure trust spell check, trust all the software that’s running your life. Talk about connections.

Because spellcheck isn’t up to College Grade yet.
