Like many writers, I am also an editor. That might sound funny to people who know me. My inability to spell and my poor reading speed is my personal ball and chain. I firmly believe the person who invented spell-check needs to receive the Congressional Gold Medal for her or his “achievement that has an impact on American history and culture that is likely to be recognized as a major achievement in the recipient's field long after the achievement.” It is unfortunate that some have never partaken in this wondrous tool.
