don't rely on spell-checkers!

[Ron Butters]

Didn't someone just write recently, "Don't rely on spell-checkers"? In fact,
it is worse. One has to make sure that one doesn't inadvertently correct
something that is fine into something that is not fine. In writing to a
student just now, I wrote,
". . .  try Victoria Fromkin and Robert Rodman, _An Introduction to
Language_, 6th edition." My AOL spell-checker automatically corrected this to
"". . .  try Victoria Foreskin and Robert Rodman, _An Introduction to
Language_, 6th edition."
