Don’t Rely on Your Spell-checker
Because I talked about using the spell-checker yesterday, I feel it’s my duty to say there are lots of things spell-checkers don’t catch. Here’s one that made me laugh: “You won some tennis lesions in the raffle!” Ouch! Tennis lesions? Is that something you get when you grip your racket too hard? Here’s another: “He was quilt ridden.” Let’s take that nice Amish quilt off the bed and throw it over your head so you can be quilt ridden. Computers aren’t perfect.
Why not to rely on the spell checker? The spell check service I use is quite reliable. Of cource, you need to double check by just rereading everything but only in case you doubt. If it’s not a vital important documtn it’s ok to trust the service.
