Our deputies obviously subscribe to this same line of reasoning. I was reviewing some reports this morning--the spelling and grammatical errors would cause my English-teaching wife to faint.

PilgrimBought # 1 son a "Franklin" device that checked spelling. As a college freshman he mispelled the same word 5 different ways on the same page of a report he was doing. We figured that wasn't gonna win him any "points" with the profs. He fixed his problem for good by finding a gal who proofed his work for him. When the word processing programs came up with spell check the hand held units became history. BTW - I had no problem reading grumbles post either. Prob'ly cause I'm an engineer as well. Pilgrim
