Thanks, Anna

As the more perceptive of you may have noticed, I tend to, in the words of the immortal Walt Kelly, run with the language. Since I also tend to have bad attacks of fumble fingers, I make judicious use of spell-checkers; if I misspell a word it is with malice aforethought and with insidious intent and I do not wish to do so unintentionally.

One of my favorite games is to take a sentence with a large number of wrong-word homophones and, after determining that all the words pass the spell-checker, feed it to a grammar-checker.

Oh, good! It didn't like spell-checkers.
