Today has been a pretty good day. I wrote an entire client e-mail without the spell checker finding a single error. I was so stunned when it went right through. I had my mouse poised to click the usual ‘Skip’ or ‘Replace’ buttons. I was thrilled and strangely disappointed at the same time.
I went on to write two more e-mails that also went through without a single error. I started to get cocky. Then I sent an e-mail that contained a simple, three-word answer and got caught misspelling two of the three words. The honeymoon was over. I’m a loser again.
