Obviously. It's national state-the-obvious week in my home.<br /><br />I spotted about nine or maybe-ten spelling and grammar wobblies, so I'm looking forward to seeing what I missed!M.J.

However, personal side note. The text and background don't provide enough contrast for my aging, astigmatic eyes, so in order to read the post, i (without thinking) copied and pasted it into Word where I could see it in black on white. Of course, the red squiggly lines showed up, defeating the purpose of the exercise. <br /><br />Then again, if we're using Word to write, many of those errors should have already been flagged before we get to the next editing phase, which is looking for grammar and words that are 'right' so Word doesn't catch them, even though they're 'wrong' in context.Terry Odellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610682530545306687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2284765547188757142.post-58026657692739061302009-11-19T07:06:42.505-06:002009-11-19T07:06:42.505-06:00Oh, I started out soooo well!
