My spell checker changes the word; however when I hit the send or post button it shows the mistake. What am I doing wrong? It only does it with words that are corrected using the spell checker. It has happened in Facebook and Yahoo! Mail. I also notice that if I stop typing mid-word and come back to it the last half of the word become underlined.

Hope this info helps. Audrey
