"Cause We Find Ourselves In The Same Old Mess..."

[mmerriam]

careswen : (looking over the Phantom Streetcar manuscript) "Honey, I'm finding stuff that spellchecker would have caught."

mmerriam : (horrified, especially since he knows he's run spellchecker on this document dozens of times and now it's in the hands of first readers) "I did run spellchecker. Multiple times."

careswen: "Have you told it to ignore some things? Because you can train Word to ignore misspelled words."

mmerriam: "No."

careswen: Gives mmerriam a dubious look and returns to manuscript.

mmerriam: Runs spellchecker on the chapter in questions. Finds errors, despite the fact he knows he's run spellchecker on the document multiple times, listened to it searching for errors in JAWS, and read it dozens of time.

mmerriam: Throws up hands, snarls in frustration, and considers tossing computer out the window and into the rain in anger. Doesn't.
