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. laura creighton utzoo!utcsstat!laura 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). laura
