Pet Peeve
One of my pet peeves as the year ends on RCU is the number of people who do not seem to realize that there is a "SPELL CHECKER" for these forum posts.
Please! Those little red squiggles indicate a misspelled word. Just right click on the word and select the word your trying for! Some of the attempted spellings are hilarious, not posting a smart ass answer is getting harder and harder

You couldn't read some of my posts without the spell checker.
It ain't cause I can't spell, I can't type!
Same problem it work, and I'd reprimand someone for not correcting there spelling there.

WOW! All the things to get irritated about on a world wide forum, spelling is it?
My pet peeve is the terminology being used for build and or assembly.
But I will say "Thanks" I did not know that about the right click and have already used it on this post.
Now if I were only smart enough to not need it.

- Use of quotes, caps and colour is unnecessary on the words "spell checker".
- The second sentence reads "...select the word your trying for", but should read "select the word you're trying for"
- After the word "hilarious" in the last sentence you should be using a period, and ellipsis or a hyphen because the words after the comma form a sentence fragment.
I agree with you in principle, but a spell checker will only help in some cases... proper use of emphasis, homonyms and grammar are up to you. To wit:
Dew knot trussed yore come pewter spell Czech er two fined awl yore miss takes.
I'm a retired mechanic , and not a retired English teacher , so I just figured I'd pop in and say Hi
