People always think I will be amazing, and yet the only word I will think of to spell will be something like 'red'.Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309191526500602452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507901142971459084.post-75858787378142243582010-03-27T20:43:07.576+00:002010-03-27T20:43:07.576+00:00Hi Hilary!

And the great thing is once it is pointed out the mistake never happens again - we live and learn! :)Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309191526500602452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507901142971459084.post-14224425115345499922010-03-24T04:23:43.684+00:002010-03-24T04:23:43.684+00:00Too bad spell checkers don't catch homonyms. ...Too bad spell checkers don't catch homonyms. I can't even spell regular words. My husband doesn't understand how someone who reads so much can be such an idiot with spelling. I guess I just never pay attention.Plain Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17925232966242274371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507901142971459084.post-37131730342530279972010-03-23T22:05:27.340+00:002010-03-23T22:05:27.340+00:00I was just talking to someone else about this toda...I was just talking to someone else about this today! My first round with my editor was great and luckily she did not mention the fact that in several spots in the MS I meant "shuddered" as in shook with fear, but wrote "shuttered", as in all the windows were shuttered!

We are only human after all. ;)<br /><br />xoxo -- HilaryHilary Wagnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18199287020561210673noreply@blogger.com
