I suppose expecting you to own and use a dictionary would be too much to expect.

The program that runs this website corrects errors on ever computer I have accessed it on, so excuse me while I refuse to believe you one more time.

Logically, you should get a computer that does spelling if that is really the case.

Who carries a dictionary on them?  Do you??  I realize the effort to dry and deflect the points made earlier into some irrelevent case of mispelling.  When I'm on a break at work, a computer is a computer.  NONE of the computers at work have a spelling check for this forum.  So if the point is made, while a word or 2 might me misspelled, what's the problem??  Especially when you consider you'll take perfectly spelled words, and completely distort the context in which they were used.    ::)

I use it frequently. ... just not 100% of the time.....which again has absolutely squat to do with the thread and the points made.  You're free to  relish in your latest deflection effort.  I have more important & valid tangents to deal with

It is hard to imagine that anything you deal with that involves words is of any importance at all.

By the way, it is SLEAZE, not SLEEZE.

What?

Because of its Greek roots?

“Sleezy” is given in both the OED and Merriam-Webster as an alternate spelling of sleazy, but the only standard pronunciation of sleazy is /sl?’z?/, with a long e.

No Greek roots there.
