Hi, James!  Recently you wrote in a message to Ardith Hinton:

          Not to worry... I've marked a lot of grade eight English papers
in my time, so I knew what you meant!  I generally apply fuzzy logic to the
spellings other people use when I'm trying to understand what they're
saying.  If it's my duty to correct their spelling, or if they've
specifically asked me to do that, I'll consciously focus on left brain
input & re-read the material... [chuckle].

          I often wait until the next day to post whatever I've written
because I'm more likely to notice certain errors that way too.  But in a
lot of cases I don't see them until they've scanned out, and I feel very
embarrassed....  :-))



P.S.  I identify with people who wonder.  Recently Nora has been saying
"I have a weird question for you."  I keep assuring her I love
weird questions....  ;-)
