drop.io: Leave Stuff for me here

Typos

No Gravatar

I know this isn’t a phenomenon peculiar to me, but why oh why do I still end up with typos in my posts?

I use Firefox 2.0 here, which amongst all the other useful stuff it comes with, has a built-in spell checker. Sometimes I use Windows Live Writer to blog with too, and that also has a built in spell checker. Now I use the darn thing, and yet I still find typos!

It’s frustrating.

I am fully aware of the limitations of a spell-checker – and I think it goes to re-enforce my belief that you simply need to have someone else proof-read your work before you post it.

  • Amen to that, Brother! I AM an editor, and I still miss mistakes in my blog posts and comments--and I'm trying to make a good impression, Dog dammit!
