   EV>I didn't check my spelling with that WordWeb program as I should   
   EV>had. But I was close wasn't I?   .... ..   
      
   As odd as it seems I have never used a spell checker and I wish that   
   the editors (journalists) at one of the local papers would use their   
   brains a bit more instead of blindly trusting that the spelling is   
   correct.   
      
   There are many words that differ by just one letter in the word that   
   have a different meaning but are accepted by the spell checker because   
   they are correctly spelled but gramatically faulty in the context.
