re checking in a thesaurus and then going for synonyms:

one -- this takes a lot of time. maybe people should all make a note
	that if they want to read netnews articles from utcsstat!laura
	they need to expect spelling errors because i WILL NOT personally
	check every word in every mail or news article I send. IT TAKES
	TOO LONG.

two -- you people who can spell assume that when I mispell a word I will
	have gongs going off in my head saying "THAT DOESNT LOOK RIGHT".
	It all looks fine too me. You have to severely mangle a word
	before the spelling looks bad. On the other hand, differences in
	number glow in the dark to me. I do not know what makes your brain
	recognise spelling mistakes. I do know that I do not have the same
	sort of brain. If I cannot recognise an error, then I do not know
	that it needs fixing.

ps "ise" endings are GOOD. "ize" is for Americans, and I am not one. If there
are any other errors in this article I do not recognise them. I will run it
through spell to check, but I am posting this "as is" so people who find
mistakes will know the level of mistake-recognition I am at naturally
(ie without the help of spell).
