I believe in grammar. I believe in proper spelling and the Queen's English. I use spellcheck. (Is spellcheck one word or two?) I like commas and semicolons. I don't tend to text-speak.
I have a problem. I blog in bed, usually after midnight. Also, I am a lousy speller. The lousy spelling is fixable. As I said, "I use spellcheck." But the late night blogging is a problem. On becomes one. An becomes and. Habit draws my fingers to type certain sequences, and the late hour causes me to miss them as I proof.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, Sean reads my blog. He tells me of my typos. Usually I am tired when this happens. It is late. I am blogging, so it's close to or after midnight. But I believe in grammar, and proper spelling. So I go back and edit. I see where my sleep-deprived brain thought I typed "that's", but where I really typed "hat's". And then, I do it all over again.
G'night (That's the Queen's English when she visits Australia.)
