Spellchecker



Using spell check to figure out how to spell seemed logical, easy and actually worthwhile to me. Learning to spell English words is an important part of the elementary schools, and they should improve their spelling skills .But, using spellcheck it makes students lazy and unable to learn how to spell correctly. I see spellcheck makes students rely too heavily on it and therefore makes them pay less attention to learning how to spell correctly. However, spellcheck more helpful to university students and international students who in academic studies.
