Re: proofreading lament



I use the spell checker, then I grammar check by having my Mac read the
paper to me. I hear lots of things I don't see. I too have found the
grammar checker to be a pain...perhaps if I tuned it to my needs it would
work better, but I haven't taken the time.

cheers

I'm getting desperate here.

I use the spell checker in Word. It has a grammar checker, but
I know grammar much better than it does, so I turned it off
long ago. To catch more subtle errors, print it out & read
the hard copy.
