Re: dangers of spellcheck
My boss caught one of my frequent mis-typings of 'form' for 'from' the
other day.
Bad enough. But not as bad as this one I (thank heavens!) caught myself:
'asses' for assess'
Any other ridculous boffos that overdependence on spell-check scanning
rather than actually reading can net you?
