[at-l] Five Days Until...

LOL!

The spell checker got me again (as a kindly reviewer point out off line).

The PPS should have been "Were one trying to get a
subjunctive-contrary-to-fact through the "grammar" review....

The spell checker, which we had at work, also checked for "bad" grammar, for
"incorrect" level of informal usage, for slang, for non-politically-correct
terms, etc.

I was notified that I was using inappropate slang, every time I typed my
name -- "Hicks."

PS -- Heaven help you, if you tried to use the singular third person
pronouns, even to refer to a specific individual, of a known gender.

PSS -- Were one trying to get a subjective-contrary-to-fact through the
"grammar" review....

>"...(I promise to use spell checkeroo!)"

Be careful of them spell checkers. The name of our immediate past governor
was
Angus King.

Every time I wrote him a letter, my spell checker insisted that I write,
"Dear
Anus,"

Weary
