Gina, I'm an Engineer, and we (especially me) are notorious for our bad spelling and writing. I find that since the computer age came in (I'm from the old school of sliderules, manual typewriters, mimeograph machines, etc.), my spelling has improved (and hopefully my grammar-which my machine checks also if I request it). I attribute this to seeing very quickly and easily the errors, and learning from them. I believe "Spell Checkers" can teach, but we have to be willing to learn. One thing though, it hasn't done a thing for my Arkansas (hate to admit that's where I'm from) accent. By the way, we don't want him back when Washington is through with him.
