Computer Spelling
If you read "group" or "message board" posting on any
internet site you will notice that if one spells a word wrong
they are immediately "pounced" upon as an idiot who
can not form a honest opinion because he can not spell
either.....
Here is a great one from the National Weather Service.....
INDICIES ......It appeared in a heat related weather
warning.....
Suspecting the word should be INDEXES, I looked it up....
The plural of INDEX can be spelt INDEXES (which would
appear obivious) or INDICES (which is not so obivious)....
In any case it is hot here and indicies is not a word.....Pumps
