At least once a semester I have someone writing about the king's thrown room. I also have students who use the wrong denomination: The Great Wall of China is 1400 feet long.

Then I became a newsletter editor and realized that sometimes no matter how hard you look, errors still seep in. That doesn't make proof reading worthless. I often have to reread entire sentences if the wrong "their/ there/ they're" is used.<br /><br />If you're using PC there's a great (free!) program called WordWeb Pro that's a lot like a dictionary. Except you have to notice your spelling looks wrong first because there's no red-line like Word uses.<br /><br /><>< KatieKatie Axelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09361471654719262744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34218279.post-87825142944338121282010-08-05T18:24:22.002-04:002010-08-05T18:24:22.002-04:00You may want to switch your email editor to Micros...You may want to switch your email editor to Microsoft Word and switch on your spelling/grammar check.

I was young then, so of course immature little me got a kick out of it.<br /><br />When it comes to (native) English speakers making mistakes, misplaced apostrophes always stand out to me, as do commonly confused words, like (as you said) affect/effect, bare/bear, etc. They're everywhere! I also often find myself accidentally typing semicolons instead of apostrophes, and frequently switching two letters in my first name.Kristin Laughtinhttp://kristinlaughtin.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34218279.post-75782116135180633652010-08-05T16:55:19.582-04:002010-08-05T16:55:19.582-04:00I live in the very French region in Canada, so I&#...I live in the very French region in Canada, so I'm often corrected when I speak the local language. I'm fine with that, since I'll be the first one in line to help someone else with my maternal tongue. However, one irksome issue I have with living here is the misuse of English-isms.<br /><br />Phrases like "full-cool!" and "pissé" are often blurted out not just by the youth but even adults. They mean, respectively, "that's awesome!" or "pissed."<br /><br />Or another one, which as an anglophone I take offense to, is the word "fucké." Yeah, you saw that accent correctly. It has become a widely used verb up here for those silly francophones. It basically means screwed up, messed up, tired, stoned, etc. It's used in every day expressions. <br /><br />I've been here eleven years and I still can't get used to it.V. C.

"Threatening and endangered species" instead of "threatened and endangered species" (is that a grizzly bear?). Some "pubic interest groups."<br /><br />And then there's the technical writers who are also closet creative writers. I had one writer who liked to throw in things to see if I'd catch them in tech edit. Instead of "rabbit bones were found in the fire-cracked hearth," he put that the hearth was used "to roast the hapless lagomorph."Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986544384594087203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34218279.post-32998963609438657852010-08-05T14:46:06.299-04:002010-08-05T14:46:06.299-04:00Hi Hessica ;o)

Find it and other spelling options by going to your inbox, then clicking Tools then Options. You'll find a "Spelling" tab along the top of the Options popup window.<br /><br />Hope that's the issue 'cause that's a simple fix, if so!Phoenix Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03290349031002504007noreply@blogger.com
