Spelling It Out

Spelling It Out

Do spelling and punctuation errors get you down? Then maybe you should join the Typo Eradication Advancement League. But beware! The intrepid members of this organization have been warned to "keep walking or they would make sure we didn't walk again". They have also been fined $3,000 and banned from speaking publicly about fixing typos. It seems that pointing out spelling and punctuation errors can be bad for your health and your pocketbook!

Since apostrophes seem particularly prone to abuse, here's a link to an excellent site called "The Care and Feeding of Apostrophes". And when it comes to spelling, we have a number of excellent articles in our newsletter archives (scroll down to Spelling).
