Off Topic / Spell Check

« on: January 26, 2014, 01:48:26 PM »

Why is it that whenever I spell a word wrong in Microsoft Office or Firefox that they have know idea what I mean, but when I type the misspelling into Google it knows exactly. Can Google's spell check be put into a web browser or text editing software?

Also, how often do you guys use spell check and do you have presets that fix words for you automatically (for example i to I)?

Make sure you're tapping your foot to the beat. Or something. You can even bounce your body a little as weird as it would look.

Take the songs slow at first if you can't get it. There's no problem with starting slower and speeding it up. It's how I learn all my songs, as piano isn't my native instrument. Also, you just need patience and constant practice.

This right here. I often move move by body with the beat, which in retrospect looks weird but most people don't pay attention and it helps. Also, always take the songs slow at first and then work your way up. Start with one hand, and then work the other, then do both. Also, write down rhythms and fingerings on the page, as this helps you remember what to think.

Some of the early game monsters can be hard. I have one right next to spawn that kills me instantly and has high hp.

Arabesque I:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28Qi4jLtigc
Arabesque II:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvAiQ9H56a4

These are amazing works by Debussy. My favorite is II because it's got some pep.

Isn't that just self-centered conversation. Where you express opinions and communicate except you reference yourself too much? Just think about what you are saying and replace "I" with "One".
