Yeah, Boss, you and I are of that same breed. I don’t tolerate it in my own writing, and check myself constantly. Part of the problem is, MS Word has made too many lazy people. Autocorrect is NOT your friend.
I’m not nearly as published as YOU are, but we both take pride in our works. Our writing is a reflection of ourselves.
But then, sometimes insisting on propur speling and gramer is a loosing battle...
In the first edition of EFAD, somehow I autocorrected airplane hangars to hangers, in about ten place at once.
Spellcheck was very content, and I missed it. OOOPS!
