it seams everyone has useing a ipad

There's an app for that ... Grammar App for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad on the iTunes App Store

With all due respect, it appears that many people don't even use spell checkers so I sincerely doubt that the people who probably need this app the most, probably won't be spending $1.99 on this app.

Judge not, lest ye be judged yourself!!

The sixth correction is "riding" not "rideing"

The seventh correction is "lightweight" not "lightwieght"

The eight correction is " so do think you" is nonsense and not english.

Are you illiterate?

I've never corrected anyone for bad/poor english or grammer but that person has taken the english language to a new low. Maybe he doesn't own an Ipad but gets a kick out of writing that gibberish.

I have yet to see anyone using an iPad "out in the wild". We have bought 4 here at work for various people in the company, and I know a couple of people that bought their own. As far as I know, none of them carry their iPad on a daily basis. They take them traveling on the road, but I'm not sure what else they do with them. 3 or the people that have them here at work got them not having a clue what they were going to do with it - it was just the latest thing and it looked cool. One has already told me he hardly uses it anymore - just around the house sometimes.

I hope they catch on for business use. They really need to address the lacking in the office apps category though. I think it will get there eventually, but I think its a big part of the entertainment reputation the iPad has right now. This thing could be a serious business machine, but it needs the software tools.

Seriously, people need to be corrected more often when they butcher the language. A majority of the time it is NOT someone who simply isn't familiar with the language, but rather a person of questionable intelligence. Also, every single web browser in existence corrects your spelling for you, so there really isn't a valid excuse to post something so awful. Correcting someone who makes a single error or typing mistake is ridiculous, but when its almost unreadable, someone should stand up and say "wut?".

The only thing to be gained at correcting someone's spelling and grammar is an over inflated sense of one's perceived superiority.

If someone wishes to chastise a fellow forum user for what is perceived to be poor spelling and sentence structure then by all means do so, but do it in a private message.

Shouldn't common courtesy be considered as important as proper sentence structure?

Common courtesy is like common sense. If it was that common, more people would use it!

I've been messing with the new File Maker Go app which allows you to open and update all File Maker Pro apps. I've been struggling for months with FM Touch and never got anywhere. File Maker Go just made live easy using your data base apps. Now we have another strong business tool for the iPad and it's going to open a lot new doors. The iPad is going to be used for everything and it's going to do it well.
