I have learned to double check my documents -- even if I have to do a ^h find and replace search -- for the ubiquitous form/from error. I am just profoundly grateful that spell check *does* catch my second and third most frequent typos: "resluts" and "conslutants" (which might relate to the Dilbertian "cow-orkers" in some way).

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?
