But I do spell-check even though it misses a lot of things (like correcty spelled words that aren't the right words!). Thanks for joining us today, Peg.

I'm going to write a book called "The Mysterious Death of the Serial Comma" and my main protagonist will be a witch called Which. I think my spell checker will have heart failure and die.Zitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10934983183390982361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-30915753683954263412011-02-07T12:59:53.857-05:002011-02-07T12:59:53.857-05:00I love it!

However, the killer for me was when I'd written a line of dialogue when character A showed up at character B's door. Character B said, "What the "F" are you doing here at two in the morning."<br /><br />Grammar check told me it should read, "What the "F" <b>IS</b> you doing here because "F" is singular."<br /><br />I trust my grammar skills a lot more than those green squiggly lines.<br /><br />Terry<br /><a href="http://terryodell.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Terry's Place</a><br /><a href="http://www.terryodell.com" rel="nofollow">Romance with a Twist--of Mystery</a>Terry Odellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610682530545306687noreply@blogger.com
