I was totally tired out yesterday when I read just a few blogs, and was surprised that I couldn't figure out how to spell able. I may be a poor speller, but without my brain functining right, I was awful.
I used to proofread a national medical journal for 14 years. One way to find errors before publishing, is to read it upside down. The best way is to tell the publisher to go ahead a print a jillion copies. I'm stunned at the number of local and national news articles with errors in them. Linda in Kansas

ReplyDelete...being a horrible speller, I'll keep my comments to myself.
