Oh, good, now I have two excuses for typos and misspelled words. I look at a word for a long time and then decide if it ends in able or ible; ent or ant; is the "h" before or after the next letter (as in Furhman, or Fuhrman-lol); is the last consonant doubled when a word is used as a verb, etc.? Now I have credentials in journalism and once published articles in a major daily newspaper and writing has been a source of great pleasure in my life as well as an off-and-on avocation. Still I must fight off the urge to look up every word. That slows down my creativity and geta to be quite a bother. Now add to that burden the fact that my font size as I type just now is about .6 and you have some idea of my cross to bear. Oh, incidently, I caught several glitches last few posts: you spell "propaganda" with a middle "a" not "o." But I will probably misspell it again before I die. Luck to all fellow bloggers. The important thing is that we remain engaged and promote progressive causes...marilyn P.S. Did I tell you that I am also dyslexic?
