is not working.  And I am changing the topic from the advertisement that was here.
So that means we have to use dictionaries,  gee how did we get along without them.

Suggestion

I keep a blank Word document open. If I have a long comment, I copy and paste it in Word, do the spell check, and then paste it back into the comment.

Any program with spell check will work. It’s a bit tedious, but it does the job.

Didn’t you say you had Microsoft Works? That would do. Word Pad would, too. Anything that will check spelling.

You can have your browser and another document open at the same time, and you can switch back and forth. Just copy what you’ve written, paste it into a document that you can use spell check with, the go back to Agora and paste it over what you wrote.

You’ll have to bold, italicize, etc. after that.

Guess I don’t know how to have two open at same time.
Temp is 97, index is 107, air conditioning broke down. Very hot and humid.

Open your browser, go to the forum, and then minimize the browser using the _ button at the top right. The open your Works document. You can then go back and forth by clicking what you want to maxiimize in the toolbar at the bottom. Minimizing makes documents go away temporarily without closing them.

I’ve saved this, because rather than answer it, I meant to say, I don’t know what all the words mean.  Have not been using computers long enough to know, and have no one to ask except here.
What is a browser? What is the button at the top right that you have used a small line for? I have no such thing on my keyboard except _ and - .
How do I open the works stuff with the other stuff on the screen?

I’ll explain later. Got to go (or have to go), as some would say.

Blank document or not, I use MS Word when typing long comment to make sure my spelling (and sometimes grammar) is all correct. Then, I copy and paste back to reply to any forum.

Using three posts to advertise yourself is not appreciated nor is it advised.
Keep your advertising off this site unless you pay for it kai387das.

Agree with Luke. No ads. And did you run your sentence through a grammar check?
