In the process of writing, I have found that certain misspellings are inevitably overlooked by the software spellchecker. For today’s Thursday Thirteen I decided to make a list of them.
I’m happy to report that it took several days. Many are prevalent, which is especially annoying. Number seven defies logic. A few are downright funny. I'll let you guess which word I was trying for.
Perhaps you can relate to a few of these.
1. Form vs. from
2. This vs. his
3. Worm vs. worn
4. Mattes vs. matters
5. Officer vs. office
6. Loose vs. lose
7. O vs. to - ???
8. Dual vs. duel
9. Grin vs. grim
10. Differed vs. different
11. God vs. good
12. Melting vs. meeting
13. Lace vs. place
Interesting. I have seen some amusing word suggestions from the computer, and I never thought to save them.
ReplyDeleteStrange, I thought I posted a version of this yesterday. It showed me the post when I finished, but it wasn't here when I logged in today.
Word does try to be helpful, but can end up causing more trouble sometimes :) Great reminder, Darla!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great remarks!
