I often catche myself adding an "e" to the end of the word "test" and it's
particularly bad when I'm typing the plural of the word if you catch my
meaning.

Subject: 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?
