How much improper spelling on the net is due to IE's lack of spellchecker? (I'm assuming it doesn't have one. Haven't heard otherwise.) #

My sister is coming to visit the East Coast this month. We will go to dinner and hang out. Unexpected happy things are the best. #
I'm looking forward to the shutdown with amusement. Everyone who thinks that government is a waste of money will get exactly what they want. #

Here’s an excerpt, right here!
