an' if a fren' come a long

you've led quite a privileged life, yet still don't remember to hit the spell check before posting.

sorry for being pedantic. just how i am!

God, how do you even see that? I've corrected it and can just barely see the difference between the correct and incorrect spelling.

mmm... must be my superpower! :)

behold, the mighty powers of pedantary!

Well. . .isn't there something about not being able to see your own errors after working on something for awhile?

--The_Lex Wed Sep 13 11:24:39 2006

No, this is deeper than that... seeing the correct version and incorrect side by side, I couldn't tell you which was which if one wasn't crossed out.

Plus, FoSO is right, often I just forget spellecheck.

it's true that you don't actually need to know how to spell anything these days. i'm not yet obsessive about spell check, though (at least, not outside of work).

I think you got that gene (for hospitality - not spelling erors) from your maternal grandmother. No telling who would show up or for how long in the spare beds or at the table. Cherish it.

Well, the spellchecks are a big help, but they are no match my head's special gifts for homonyms. Proofreading is useful.
