Who ever invented Spell check is my hero

Who ever invented spell check is my hero. I don't know how I could live without it. Let me amend - I would cause myself further constant writing embarrassment without it.

According to Wikipedia, spell checker have been around since the first mainframe computers in the 1970's but didn't become universally accessible until they were incorporated into word processing packages in the mid 1980's. Now, thank goodness, spell check is becoming standard on most email and internet based programs as well.

Most recently spell check programs have started to include algorithms for context sensitive spelling advice. I will be so happy when grammar checking gets to the same level.

I still don't know who invented spell check but who ever you are, you are my hero.
