I'm tending towards favouring a spell-checker that tells you which words you've mis-spelled, but doesn't offer any corrections ("BZZZ!! You got this one wrong! Go look it up."). It can stop you making a fool of your elf, but it encourages you to learn. |

I won't vote for it , you're cheating, ganging up like this behind people's backs, I'm telling! |

There is a "learn to touch type" type of a programme (TypingMaster ProTrainer (link added)). It monitors everything you type into your computer, and remembers all misspellings. (It does give you the option to disable it for certain programmes. You wouldn't want it to track everything you type into a game, for example. Or a chat.) It not only lists them in order of frequency, but also lets you practice on texts consisting only of those words. Which can yield pretty interesting texts. |

//It can stop you making a fool of your elf// will it watch out for typos too ? |
