Spell-check does a great job of finding the obvious mistakes but is not the final solution. Even the best of spellers will use "their" instead of "they're" or "there" every now and then and spell-check just doesn't cut it. But I'm probably preaching to the choir so carry on and :driving:

I left out an apostrophe in my last post and none of you corrected me. For shame! I expect my students to be better than me! :icon17:
