Spell ...Thanks for weighing in but I cannot agree. Spell checkers have gotten pretty good but they are still not perfect. I found an error in a legal document where the spell checker had changed the word into something that made no sense.<br /><br />I recall an airline CEO comment that passengers form their perception of the airline from what they see. If a customer pulls down a tray table and finds it dirty they immediately wonder about the engine maintenance. He concluded with "...so we have the cleanest tray tables in the industry."<br /><br />Perception is reality.<br /><br />You perceive I'm a whiner/bad employee/bad employer (or something).

Not so for the file-namer, or most comment windows.<br /><br />A typo that ruins the meaning is a big deal. A typo where the meaning is still clear is of no consequence.<br /><br />When I see somebody whining about a typo, I know that's a bad employee and a bad employer. I'd much rather have folks working on a web page spend their time filling it with useful content, rather than having layers of checkers. A broken web-link, or not posting business hours, or posting a PO box but not the physical address when I need to figure out how to drive there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
