Unfortunately it didn't catch them all :>). I know what a "phone" is but I'm confused by "fone". It sure didn't check grammer or syntax because I don't think you meant faulty bowels when you might have been inconvenienced ;>) Computers may be great (I've used them for 39 years) but software development, especially spell-checkers (which lack syntax and grammer checking) have made a mess of communication. I see more spelling mistakes on forms, papers and documents, than I ever did 40 years ago when making a mistake was a major "pain in the ..." to correct, especially when most documents had to be retyped. I had 11 pages that had errors on them in a just recently completed Family Trust document. I called the law firm and complained bitterly about the sloppy (computer) work. I got the ususal run-around about a new para-legal that wasn't quite up to their standards of quality. They sent me a refund check for 10% of the cost of the trust. In this respect, I hate computers, because they have destroyed the basic communication skills that people had when using pen and paper. -- Gerry Boyd ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
