If I wanted something to do everything for me, and double check everything for me I would hire an assistant to wipe my butt for me.

Besides, can't spell "werd!" if it keeps correcting you now can you? Ebonics and randomly created words become a chore if your compter will not allow you to do so. Just me though. Maybe I should work on my typing and speaking etiquette so I can buy a Mac and join the ranks of the "elite".

it doesn't correct the word, you know how on Microsoft word if you misspell it uses the red line underneath the misspelled word? it does that on anything you type, and if you want to correct it you press the control button and click the word and it gives you some options on what it thinks you were trying to spell

ah that damn red line!!! That thing actually annoys me more than anything! Mostly because it will tell me my last name is spelt wrong too.

Add your last name to the dictionary on there tbh.
Bad part is, it checks spelling, but cannot correct homophones.

After getting my mac book pro I would never go back to PC even though sometimes stuff doesn't work with mac if it is from PC. A note I have had my Mac Book pro for 2 and a half years now no problems my brother bought a pc new three weeks ago and now the software is screwed up on it and in the shop.

Sounds like your brother needs to learn how to work a computer.

its all about preference for computers, some like mac's, some like pcs. alot won't try them, go play on one at the apple store and see if you like it. i honestly did not learn to much from playing with one at the store, using friends macs really helped me make my decision. and the fact my friend worked at apple i might have gotten a couple extra discounts
Ugh. I'm not even going to try and correct your terrible grammar. Apparently it doesn't have a real spell checker either. Matter of fact my computer corrects both! And it's not a Mac!
By the way "a lot" is two words, not one.
