The_MoUsY_spell_checker's Advice Column

About The_MoUsY_spell_checker

I first signed up because I saw really simple computer questions with no answers, and I just had to answer them. Today, my column still has more answers to questions about computers than anything else, but feel free to ask about anything. I can follow up on questions too.

I have been the featured columnist on 16 October 2005, 01 May 2006, 18 December 2007, 12 July 2008, 02 February 2009, 08 March 2009, 24 May 2009, 29 September 2009, 12 November 2009, 05 January 2010, 06 January 2010, and 26 April 2010.

By the way, here's a Facebook group for Advicenators users: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=3174690640

Have you guys heard if you keep something plugged in but you're not using it, it still wastes electricity. Like if you have a phone charger plugged in, you're still wasting the electricity. IS IT TRUE?

:)!

Yes, it's true. Phone chargers usually have voltage transformers in them, and they draw electricity even when you're not using them. If you have one in a quiet place, you might be able to hear it making a buzzing sound.

Just switch off the power point when you're not using it if you can't be bothered to unplug your charger and put it away each time.
