With "Check spelling" set to "As I type" in Mail Prefs, I get the red line and not autocorrect. And I seem to have "Correct spelling automatically" checked in Language & Text. Huh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's 5.3 (1280), -t?
I have a little tag that appears when I'm near to the end of the word (like on my iPod), and if I just keep going with the word that's not in the dictionary, it replaces it with what was in the taggy thingy. It's fucking irritating. I tried to take a screenshot, but losing focus makes the suggestion disappear. Skitch is pretty good for free, but no timed captures.

6.0 (1485)
Might need Mountain Lion. I don't remember how the spelling check worked before I upgraded, but I know Mail wanted a software update right after the OS.

Interesting, I get the red underline in Mail, but I just checked and my version is 5.2 (1278). The thing is I don't see a current update available for it, and this is on a machine I just purchased about a week ago.

That's another thing that I'm finding frustrating right now--I don't know what the baseline for anything is. When I google solutions to various new things, pages that say OS X Lion are kind of but not totally what I'm running. This puppy is two weeks out of Shanghai and I've installed every update that the pipe has suggested--why am I in a different Lion place from other people?

zamzar no longer does youtube. Is there another site or software that does? Converting online videos to mp3s, that is.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I use Download helper

When I whined on LifeHacker about the cosmetic Lion changes that I didn't like, someone gave me this [link] to skins.
eta: No, that wasn't from LH--where did I get that...god, my brain...

Anyone here ever tried Postbox? The feature [link] looks pretty nice. Integration with Evernote will always pique my interest.
I find it really easy to get used to the share feature on my mobile devices and it has me subconsciously convinced it's better than cutting and pasting or saving and opening. I find myself looking for the share icon all the time...
