I basically write for a living. I am somewhat of a fanatic when it comes to grammar and writing. That being said some grammar rules are cast in cement, while others are cast in quicksand. I run my letters and briefs through a spell checker and grammar checker and often I find myself in violent disagreement with my computer about its idea of correct grammar. For instance, my computer does not recognize the correct form of usage for "advice and advise" and always recommends the wrong one. I don't know how to teach it. It seems to be an unteachable student.
I enjoyed the excange.
I'm also a fanatic about spelling. But we'll let that one pass. ;-)
Just because you have never seen a word doesn’t mean it is not a word. :-)
Somewhere along the line I activated an extension or plugin which tried to anticipate what I was typing and it completed words for me, often erroniusly. As a result I have disabled everything I could find including my spell checker. Now, it no longer excanges words on me. :-)
