Boy, do I ever feel for any of you out there struggling with lackluster spell checkers for dyslexics. I'm not dyslexic, but I wish there was a way to contact Outlook because my spell checker is absolutely awful, even for me. Normally it makes me laugh at its ridiculous suggestions.

I'm not the best speller in the world (used to be better before I turned 50 and started forgetting how to spell)but I do desire a better spellchecker for my email accounts.

But, if all of you would contact Outlook (I have no idea how to get inside that conglomerate) and inform them what an awful spell checker they have, that would be great! I will give $1,000 to any of you who manages to get through to them and asks them to contact me.

I spent 12 years designing a spell checker for dyslexics (written for my daughter). I wish they would employ the "American Wordspeller" into their database...it would be the best spell checker in America because it's phonetic. Outlook needs it the most because it's absolutely the worst!

It's a phonetic dictionary/wordspeller as an app on Android, it's also a book, (it will soon be on iPhone,iPad,iPod and have a Mac plug-in) but it needs another platform so people can write perfect emails and letters. So let's swamp Outlook to compete with the big boys and give us a super great spell checker! Oh, you can contact any of the other competitors also if you'd like...they all need this phonetic database for dyslexics!

Keep your chins up! It's getting better all the time!
