   A lot of time lately I'm waiting around in doctor waiting rooms.   
      
   Everyone else, 'specially the kids, is on their phone.   
   But I don't know what to do with the phone.   
      
   No way am I playing useless games or reading teeeeeeny tiny print.   
   And I'm not about to watch my phone using it as a tiny YouTube TV.   
   Nor do I have enough people to text & call to keep me busy enough.   
      
   Maybe the Windows newsgroup spelling app has been ported to Android?   
      
   With the Windows spelling app (Herbert Kleebauer), every time you see a   
   redsquiggle, you copy the fixed-spelling & type "Win+R spell" to paste the   
   corrected spelling into your list of test words to practice later.   
      
   Later, when you have time (which you never do when you're at home), you   
   would type "Win+R spellit" which would randomly speak the words and give   
   you three chances to fix them.   
      
   If you fix them, it removes the word from the list.   
   If you still get it wrong, it adds the word in the list (which means the   
   word pops up even more frequently as it's in there twice or three times).   
      
   Does a port of this Herbert Kleebauer Windows app yet exist for Android?
