being unreasonable?     Yes, they do, veritate.  fell, I don't
think it is like the 'otter' example. I get what you're saying
and I expect it's like that for some people. Like the way some
people think 'alzheimers' is 'old-timer's' disease and once you
tell them, they know.  But I think for some people, they just
hear the two words sounding alike and end up writing the wrong
one by mistake before their brain catches up. Ideally, you'd
teach someone to proof-read properly and they would catch those
mistakes, but everyone makes small errors sometimes, whether
because their muscle memory catches them out, or because they
type the wrong thing because they're thinking about the sound
not the spelling.  crashdoll Sun 10-Feb-13 10:52:51  YABVU to
