The importance of spell check

July 11th, 2006

If an Olympic-sized error can befall a major metropolitan daily (albeit, a crappy one), it can happen to cultured girls, too. Don’t forget to spell check! (Note: I understand this is slightly off-topic for readers not in S.F., but I am soon planning to launch grammar and punctuation tips of the day, so I thought it was somewhat relevant.)

    Not only a misspelling, but a missed chance to use an apostrophe where it was actually needed! This editor must have been deprived of needed sleep.
