This reminds me of the time Microsoft Word highlighted my use of ‘their’ with a squiggly red line, offering to correct it to ‘there’. The context of my original entry was correct, but on a whim, I decided to go with it and see what happened. So Word changed my entry to ‘there’. Another spell-check later, it highlighted ‘there’ and suggested I use ‘they’re’. I complied, a wry smile lifting my lips. Next spell check? It highlighted ‘they’re’ and suggested ‘their’. Back to square one, as they say on the radio.
Is is any wonder that kids carn’t spell these daze?
