Spell Check in Mac doesn't know the simplest words

I came into Mac 5 years ago still waiting for a decent 'Spell Ck'.
For example, 'unexceptable', and spell check didn't have a clue if spelled wrong or right.
I've been hitting 'learn' for years. Or forced to Google.
I don't get it.
What the heck is out there that outdoes the PC version I had years ago?
Careless writing it wrong is no excuse anywhere.
Thanks

Oh My, I opened that link and cracked up in .03 seconds.
I'll admit though, in here we are pretty lucky.
Out there, OOOooooo it's scary. Look at any YouTube page.
Something is in the water used for cool-aid.
I travel quite often to Europe.
From Germany to Sweden, I'm so impressed by the kids that not only learn the
disambiguation of our language, but speak clearly.
I feel bad, and a little embarrassed that at my age, it's tough to dedicate the time to learn a foreign language.
The poor gal in Germany in small village general store tried so hard to understand me.
I tried to explain I wanted hamburger for camping. Who knows how that came across.
I could not read one package on the shelfs. Even melk comes in grades I never saw before.
She came back with liter of motor oil.
Maybe she knew the Beamer out front is what I needed vs what I wanted.
I politely said thanks, and continued on tour with the oil.
Cheers

  • My spell check in Pages doesn't correct the letter i to capital I ?

  • Spell Check and changing multiple instances of the same word

    Hi, sorry if this has been brought up before.. I can't seem to find any reference, so here's my dilemma:
    My main writing language in Pages is Spanish and when it comes time for me to run the spell check, I usually have to change the same word a lot, because of missing accents and such. (I'd rather concentrate on writing and not worry about whether it has the right accent). Does Pages have any way to automatically detect when a word has been corrected, and pass the correction to any other instance of that word? I have tried using Find and Replace, but its not perfect, changing perfectly spelled words to include any corrections because the words, I think, appear similar. Is there a trick within Pages to do this? Does anyone know if the new version of Pages includes such a feature? Apple's iWork website and presentations fail to mention it...
    Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    I got it working, thanks es5f2000. I sat and thought about it and worked it out. (Pretty simple) Heres the code:
    public void findWord()
             x = iTab.getEditorList(iTab.getIndex());
             try
               int index = x.getDocument().getText(0, x.getDocument().getLength()).toLowerCase().indexOf(tFindText.getText().toLowerCase());
               int index2 = x.getDocument().getText(0, x.getDocument().getLength()).toLowerCase().indexOf(tFindText.getText().toLowerCase(), x.getCaretPosition());
               if (index >= 0)
                 System.out.println("found:)" + index);
                 x.requestFocus();
                 x.select(index, index + tFindText.getText().length());
                 if(x.getCaretPosition() > 0)
                   System.out.println("found:)" + index2);
                   x.requestFocus();
                   x.select(index2, index2 + tFindText.getText().length());
               else
                 System.out.println("Not found:(");

  • Hi, can someone please tell me why the spell check in pages doesn't work. I went to preferences and enabled this auto spell checker and have set the language to british english. But still it doesn't work while it works perfectly in TextEdit.

    Inspector > Text > More > Language
    Only applies to selected text, like making it a particular font.
    It is not a setting that sticks. If you continue to paste in text from elsewhere particularly the Internet it will have a different or None language set to it. You need to select it and make it B.E.

  • Numbers doesn't know the leap-year 2015 = Feb 29th

    Hi,
    unfortunately it seems, that numbers for Mac doesn't know Feb 29th. I can't format Feb 29th as a date. In a formula "Feb 28th" +1 equals "Mar 1st". The weekday of Mar 1st is displayed as Sunday (needs to be Monday).
    Any idea how to deal with this?
    Thanks

  • When i click on a link on a website it opens a new non working white page on (MAC) when i know the link works

    when i click on a link on a website it opens a new non working white page on (MAC) when i know the link works

    It sounds like your computer may be infected with some sort of a virus / Malware.
    I suggest the following resources:
    [[Is my Firefox problem a result of malware |Is my Firefox problem a Result of Malware]] is a Mozilla Support article with some good tips on avoiding and fighting malware.
    To double check your system is clean, do the following (Not official Mozilla advice, just good practice from personal experience)
    Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]
    Download and Run TDSSKiller [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363]
    Download and Install Microsoft Security Essentials [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials] (not an official endorsement, but I personally recommend MSE as an awesome permanent anti-virus)
    Double check for all Windows Updates.
    Also, I noticed you have the coupon printer installed. I would go to Start, Control Panel, then programs and features and uninstall the coupon Printer from inside there. It can cause some problems with Firefox.
    If you are still having problems with Malware after that, I would recommend either [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/ http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/], or having your computer cleaned by a professional.

  • Hey, I have Final Cut Express 4.0.1 and a JVC everio camera, whenever i try to import my files to FCE via "Log and transfer", it just doesn't do anything, as if FCE doesn't know the camera is there, please help !

    Hey,
    I have Final Cut Express 4.0.1 and a JVC everio camera.
    Whenever i try to import my files to FCE via "Log and transfer", it just doesn't do anything, as if FCE doesn't know the camera is there,
    please help !

    FCE 4.0.1 can only capture DV/HDV which is produced by cameras using Mini-DV TAPES and cameras shooting AVCHD which is a high definition format.
    If your camera shoots standard definition on Memory Cards, DVDs or Hard Drives it will not work in FCE.
    What is your camera's exact model name and number?

  • Cannot open CS6, it craves JBX-plugin, and my Mac doesn't recognize the file so I can't download

    I wonder why CS6 is not complete when downloaded? Why should I have to download JBX? If needed it should be a part of Indesign. My Mac doesn't have a name of a file to open and download, so now I simply don't have CS6 and can't convert my book to Kindle for sales on Amazon.
    Terribly disappointed!
    /maria

    I am using OS X 10.9.2 and I'm attaching the error message I get. I am
    trying to install InDesign CS6 in order to convert my book to Kindle, but
    Amazon's plug-in only works with InDesign CS6 NOT with InDesign CC.
    I am attaching the Kindle Plugin also.

  • How can I control stepping motor with PCI-7344 & UMI-7764? And I want to know the simplest circuit that I can do by myself?

    Now I don't want to by commercial stepping motor driver, I want to do it by myself. I want to know the simplest driver circuit to drive and control my stepping motor (+5V 4 phases).

    From the 7344's perspective, in open loop stepper mode, the only necessary outputs are the pulse train for steps and a TTL flag for direction. You can also set it for CW/CCW mode, which will output two separate pulse trains: one for clockwise motion, one for counter-clockwise motion.
    If you only need to decode the signals into four phases and not amplify them above 5V, then a small IC might work for you (as long as you don't need a lot of current). A reconfigurable FPGA could be programmed to decode the incoming signal and output the four phases pretty easily. However, I honestly believe your best bet is just to buy a recommended amplifier for the motors.
    Good Luck

  • See example (don't know the right words ;)

    i'm starting a new spreadsheet tomorrow and it's going to require me to do this (sorry, i don't even know the right words to use to describe it.. much less the formula names)
    basically:
    A1 = 5
    A2 = 6
    return = 6, 12, 18, 24, 30
    or 6*1, 6*2, 6*3 etc until it does it the amount of times entered in A1.
    sorry if confusing.. i'll try to clarify if need be.
    thanks
