Sun, July 22, 2007 - 12:02 PMActually, spell-check wouldn't catch that accidental sacrilege. Not even a grammer-check would catch it. It's a semantic error ;-)
You have to watch Sonia to know it's wrong.
I'm glad our friend from Spain was paying attention ;-)
Firefox 2.0 and above has a spell-checker built into it. -

Fri, August 10, 2007 - 9:28 AMI follow four major rules when I write:
1. Never use words that are beyond your own comprehension. (My daughter, who is an absolutely wonderful writer a majority of the time, sometimes gets into a 'high brow' mode and uses words for their elocutionary impact lol)
2. Read your work.
3. Re-read your work.
4. Let it get cold and read it again.
Nothing will catch errors of semantics better than good old-fashioned self-editing.
Technology is a wonderful thing, but over-reliance on technology is numbing leads to LBS... Lazy Brain Syndrome. -
