[Novalug] [OT]spelling, forests and trees

[Bonnie Dalzell]

thanks for your help as a spelling checker.

actually soem [example here of flipped letters] of it is that i can't 
touch type but i keep trying and pine does not have a very good spelling 
checker.  when i write for publication i get my husband to proof read for 
me and also gedit has a much better spellin' checker than pine. he has 
that OCD type personality which focuses on the trees rather than the 
forest and makes him a very good speller (plus he went to only one school 
prior to college which means he did not hear words with different 
accents).

can you imagine learning fo-net-ic spellin' in northern flor-da for a 
couple of years and then having to relearn it in new england?


when i took spanish and french my spelling was much better in those 
languages - the grammer and ability to communicate my ideas was much much 
worse but what i did write was spelled correctly.

forest - trees your choice.
