Actually old soldier it WILL check spanish and hawaiian.
All you have to do is go into your first icon at the the bottom of the computer
and go into your settings and change to those languages and then when
you spell check it will be spellchecking the language thats checked for word
spellings. Then go back into there after posting in another language and
change back into english and walla, your right back on track.
That change in language on the computer is how you talk to people in
other countries if you want to also.

Mahalo to you too.

Muchas gracias, Mahalo & Thank you!

The google tool bar downloaded easy, and it seems to work well. Though it doesn’t seem to check Spanish or Hawai’ian…

Old soldier Do you have a search engine that you are using?
If you have a space at the top of the page to type things in and have things
of the nature that you typed in pop up to choose, then that is your search
engine.

In that space type this:
Google tool bar download?

There will be several that will pop up. This download will be free and
it will be self explanatory. On the Google tool bar when it comes up
there WILL be a lot of things that you can use and one of them will
be a Spell check. It will just say check and when you write something
all you have to do it click it and it will check all the spellings in your post
and then you can correct any mistakes after you click on the words
that it highlights after you unclick on the the spell checker at the top of
the page on the google bar.
Sounds hard but it’s not. I just may not be the easiest teacher in writing,
but If this old poop can do it, so can anyone. LOL
Good Luck.

besides, there’s the problem with there’s, theirs, they’re, there, their, cite, sight, site, you’re, your.

Spell checks simply can’t read your/you’re minds (yet) and thus, don’t know which/witch was intended.

your: what you own
you’re: you are
there: yonder, not here
they’re: they are
their: what the own
own: posess
on: atop, not under or beside
here: not there, at this spot
hear: What’d you say?
site: location
cite: refer to or charge with
sight: that which is seen
which: a choice
witch: double, double, toil and trouble, fire burn, cauldron bubble
I: subjective form of me (which is the objective form of I)
eye: that in which one would prefer to not be poked, what is used to see sights
aye: a vote in favor, half a reposnse to captain’s orders

EMT: emergency medical technican
EMP: electromagnetic pulse
ENT: ear, nose, throat, a medical specialty

I just thought I’d throw those in
in: not out
inn: where there was no room for Mary and Joseph

I can’t stop, let me just hit Submit Comment

Old Soldier
Mine is on the third line down from the top of my lap top but that is the
google tool bar which I down loaded so it would be there.
Hope that helps you, but it doesn’t mean I always use it. lol

To all whom I apparently upset. I was in NO way making an excuse for the actions of one paramedic. I however was addressing the generalized idea that “there is no excuse for one to act/react or lash out” in this manner. What manner or act I am referring to is intentionaly doing harm to yourself. The examples of stressful situations I gave were to a career mindset. NOT BRANDON’S or any one person. Those were stressors that I and many paramedics live with in their career. There are calls situations and events no matter how many prayers, pills drinks therapist you cry to, you can’t erase memories. People do reach a “boling point” and thats when dumb decesions usually are made. I am not saying noone outside public safety doesn’t have stress, we all do BUT as I described there are different stresses we encounter that we didn’t ask for. EMS has become more of an extension of home health a taxi service and mental health/crisis councel. Yes, I have had thoughts to hurt myself and yes, I can say this was a weak selfish moment but at that moment it was really what I felt or thought I felt. I am burned completely out. Have no compassion for situations but I do my job and deliver the best and most up to date care because that is who I am. I would love to leave the field, it has torn my shoulders destroyed my back and hips but honestly this is who I am. God chose this long before I was born and its what I do.
Again, I didn’t mean to upset anyone by my words/feelings. My intentions were not to belittle any of you but to try and open your eyes past this situation with Brandon and what he did to explain EMT’s and Paramedics are good people and sometimes we have bad things happen in our carrers but to not label us as bad or idiots and to understand thet the stresses we face are legit and can lead to very destructive or fatal behavior. In closing God bless each of you and please please, soften you hearts and minds to the men and women who wear a uniform. We all try to help each of you to the best of our ability and unfortunately sometimes that isn’t good enough.
