Spellchecker Failure
Over Christmas I had to meet a particular niece and her kids, she must have some thoughts about me I know.
She was proudly displaying her seasonal jumper, so I tactfully asked her eight year old to spell "Christmas", which she did, spot on. Then I asked her to read out the words on her mum's jumper, which she did and quickly spotted "Happy Cristmas". Made in China. |

When the rail industry caught up with technology we started using an early version of Windows. There was a local manager called Angus but you had to be careful as Windows kept autocorrecting Angus to A n u s . . . . I had no idea early Windows was so advanced that it recognised peoples attributes

So easy to trump up a charge of that naughty lady Miss Speling.
On reflection, it would only take the addition of an 'is' after the first 'is' to create a China Crisis. As if there hadn't already been one. Allegedly.

I try to regard misspelling as an art form. It's a good way to practice self-restraint.
My English teacher at secondary school, no - not even a grammar, and no degree of any sort, was absolutely first class. Daffyd Jones his name. I know, I know. Mind you my surname is Welsh too.

I and one of my sisters took the secretarial course at our secondary school. The teacher, Mrs. Denis, was outstanding. We both have an ability to scan, not read a page and the spelling mistake jumps out at us, as with the subject of this thread. However, it can be frustrating when one realizes the drop in standards especially professionally.
