Umm... what spelling mistake? You appear to be pointing the arrow at 'present', which is spelt correctly!

I think the error is 'it' (which should be 'if') - which is not (as you say) spelt incorrectly

Ah, yes. I was too busy looking for a misspelt word to bother reading the sentence

Hi wesley4,

The mistake you are referring to is not a spelling mistake but a mistake in grammar. I don't believe FM checks for those kind of mistakes.

Do you think Sherry?

If the it was an if and the it were not present, it would make sense, wouldn't it?


And the 't' is very close to the 'f' on keyboards!

Yep, I can go along with that so we'll compromise. Instead of it being a spelling mistake or a grammar mistake we'll call it a typing mistake.
