Spell Check

Too bad you can't rely on spell check to make sure you not only spelled the word right but used the correct one as well. Typo's that aren't misspelled are the worst! For instance prostate might not be spelled wrong but it sure was different than the word I meant to use-- prostrate. Thought that was worth sharing. :)

Oh, those homophones! I can't tell you how many times I wanted to write, "She pored over her notes." When I'm tired, I switch "that" and "than". And the list goes on.

I loved the program in church one sunday that said, "We thank thee oh God for a profit". Ahh, the limits of spell-check. Love your blog!
