On and off I’ve lamented my scanty abilities as a proofreader. At least of my own writings (if that isn’t too highfalutin a phrase for weblog entries). Composing my entries in MS Word diminished considerably the number of spelling errors. Sadly Word can’t read my mind and alert me when I’ve tripped over a homonym or otherwise written a sentence that doesn’t parse.
Most of my entries are written either just before work or going to bed. I should leave them in draft mode for a few hours and then coming back and giving them a once-over. I’ll own to impatience and laziness. No excuses.
I’ve acquired a spelling error troll. His only comments are to apprize me of spelling errors. Seems a humorless, dull way to spend your time. Poor man, are my faults his hobby or does he wander the web leaving others similar notices.
Mr. Spelling Troll I acknowledge retroactively and in advance all spelling and typographic errors ever found on my websites. In doing this I hope to leave you freer for more enjoyable pursuits.
