U Knever No What A Spellchecker Won't Catch

Aaron, it's almost impossible for me to produce a post without a "wordo" someplace in it! 

Not easy to do, I can read and reread something I've just written, but as soon as I post it, something pops out that spell checking won't fined ;-)

Agent Aaron,

You are correct ...it is important to have a well written piece with no errors... but would  not want to scare people with too much analysis paralysis. Good ideas can be promoted when we encourage others to write...maybe let someone else proof in the beginning.

Aaron,

Forget spell-check. Lots of people have no clue as to syntax, dangling metaphores etc; arranging words on a page takes a little more than clicking the little ABC check symbol. Some of the stuff I read is functional illiteracy.

A former editor too, Aaron, I want to teach an AR class on advice versus advise...  Either that or I'll have no hair left, ripping it out.

Aaron, I agree with Terry.  Some posts would get an "F" in an English class for grammar.  It's amazing how many posts even have typos in their (or is it there) titles. 

Aaron, great post! I use Scribefire to write my posts, which spell checks all the time. When I put the post in AR I still use their spell checker. Picks up more stuff. I don't see my own mistakes well and often go back after re-reading for the millionth time. But I know I still have mistakes out there.

Sum dont seam to feel that its there problem or maybe dont care. It IS hard to sea you're own mistakes sometimes.

This blog reminds me of a newspaper editor once who was writing about bad grammar.  He spelled it grammer all the way through the article. I taught English at the time and saved it for a bad example.  It was hilarious.

I re-post often, more checking the links rather than spelling.  It is a personal pet peeve to have a "professional" that can't spell check.

I find so many more typos in the comment section of AR. I believe people get sloppy when it’s not their own post but just a comment they are making instead.
