Mimi, Google corrects my spelling, or corrected that is.
See in the Linux operating system you can go from 
the console command line to the GUI, that's Windows to you
by using the keys CNTRL-F1 and back to the GUI, that's Windows 
to you, with CNTRL-F-7

So it's a small matter of using those keys while within the universal
vi *nix conmmand line editor.

See after having a stroke your mental faculties may be affected and
one may become frustrated when using www.dictionary.com
both becase you have to spell correctly in order to
confirm the word.
Plus that page loads slowly.

Now google generally loads fast and I can switch from command line
to GUI in an instant.

Say I want to spell a word.
I take a shot at it and miss and Google returns with
"did you mean" near the top of the returned  links page.

There also is the Linux native "aspell" command line 
spell checker that can be integrated into the MultiMail
offline Reader. 

Now off to read the aspell man pages and perhaps a howto or
to on the subject.

Addendum: My, that was a short read.
aspell is quite easy to use.

Thank you for taking part in my rehabilitation efforts.

Ta for now.
