  4. Carol: ♥ I love that you all try for the gold!

    OK: Isn't it fun that sparkly stars still make us happy? :)

    Diane: With spell check not always catching everything...you must have a pretty good editor, you speak so highly of them. ♥

    Holly and Alex: GOOD FOR YOU! Great job!!

  5. Crystal, this is great. You are so right, the computer does not catch and correct all mis-spelled words. How about those homophones and homomyns (same sound words)? The computer does not correct them at all, so wrote a book about them. Witch - which should I do? Their - there is a reason and need four - for such a book. There are hundreds of such words within our English language. I am a lousy speller and got purple stars, sob.

  6. 5 out of 10 :-(
    But, English is my second language, (the first being Finnish) so I hope that counts for something. And I know what these words mean :-D
