Thanks, spellcheck

Today, I realized the senior thesis I turned in last week uses the word "asses" instead of "assess" 17 times. FML

I take it your thesis was not on donkeys?

To get back at my ex for cheating on me, I changed her auto-correct to change the word "an" to "buttsex" and the word "of" to "*****". She didn't notice til after she got her first paper back

lol, you can make that mistake in high school.

Spell check wouldn't pick it up; "asses" IS a word. YDI for not knowing how to spell "assess" and having to find it out afterwards..,

If it was an autobiography it would be "dumbass".

This is why you actually proofread, kiddo. You can still write something that looks ridiculous yet is spelled correctly.

I have done this and, as an education major, it was significant. It always pays to proofread.

Haha, I know of several people that might do this. So I'm guessing you're too lazy to look over your work like me?

Haven't they always told us in English 101 to ALWAYS find someone else(at least 2) to proof-read before you hand something in? Guess you were not listening when the teacher said that,eh? FYI, spell check is a lazy student's way of proofreading. I'm also guessing you didn't proofread AFTER you finished typing the paper. NOTA BENE: After typing a paper,read it over to make sure it says what you want it to say and give it to someone to go over. Your English professors would happily do that for you,believe me! YDI.
