Editorial
 Do
you ever have one of those days? Well, I have one every time I have
to write something. Not only is my spelling horrendous, I also have
very colorful grammar.
Thank goodness for spell
check. Or at least that was what I thought.
I love my spell check,
but sometimes it lets me know who’s boss. I have had some very
embarrassing moments when my spell check corrected a word that was
not the word I intended.
I once posted to an online
group about an upcoming workshop. We were going to make a flannel
tote called Rag Time Tote. I sent the email to a list
of 1000+ readers. I did not notice that my spell check had changed
it to “Rat Time Tote”. That was just a simple mistake.
No serious problem.
I will never forget the
time when there were technical issues at my website and I sent out
1200+ e-mails typing “I am sorry for the inconvenience”.
Well, that is what I thought I typed. My spell check was at it again.
It changed it to “I am sorry for the incontinence”. Readers
let me know immediately about the typo. How embarrassing. You would
think that would be the worse it could get. Wrong!
I still turn red remembering
the time I was responding to an online workshop about how we needed
to keep our picture files small so we would have room for more pictures.
I posted on the workshop blog . . . “Picture space is a premium
so we have quotas”. Unknown to me, my spell check changed it
to “Picture space is a perineum so we have quotas”. I
had no idea there was a problem until someone brought the typo to
my attention. I had never seen the word "perineum" before
and had to look it up. I do not think I had ever turned so red.
I just wanted to crawl into a hole and disappear.
I usually get a word
spelled correctly. I just need to make sure I use the right word!
So if you ever have an
embarrassing moment, remember mine. I am sure I take the cake.
I am supposed to make
the editorial about quilting, so login
into your account and download your free Rag Time
Tote pattern. You will find a link to it in the left side
bar. Enjoy!
