checker with no difficulty!


                           CATCH THAT SPILLING ERROR
                               by Norwood B. Gove


"Deep within a word-processor's innards, ingenious spelling checkers
perform their useful chores, although error sometimes slips threw."

As an extra addled service, I am going to put this piece in the Spilling
Checker, where I tryst it will sale through with flying colons. In this
modern ear, it is simply inexplicable to ask readers to expose themselves
to misspelled swords when they have bitter things to do.

And with all the other time-saving features on my new work processor, it
is in realty very easy to pit together a piece like this one and get it
tight. For instants, if there is a work that is wrong, I just put the
curse on it, press Delete and it's Well sometimes it deletes to the end of
the lion or worst yet the whole rage. Four bigger problems, there is the
Cat and Paste option. If there is some test that is somewhere were you
wish it where somewhere else you jest put the curse at both ends and wash
it disappear. Where you want it to reappear simply Bring four quarts of
water to a rotting boil and throw in 112 pounds of dazed chicken.
Sometimes it brings in the Cat that was Pasted yesterday. But usually it
comes out as you planned, or better. And if it doesn't, there are lots of
other easy-to-lose options, one of which is bound to do exactly what you
want. In no time at all you'll be turning out prefect artifacts like this
one.

So join the marsh of progress. Hitch your wagon to a stair. When you
become adapt at world processing there's no end in sigh.
