Making good/bad choices

Check your spelling: I've enjoyed the blog When Spell-Check Can't Help (although I may not have hyphenated spell check). The blog isn't as much about spell check as it's about poor choices in spelling and grammar. It uses diffuse/defuse, roll/role and emotional ringer/emotional wringer (the latter is correct) as examples.

 Here's another blog on spell check called Spell-Checking to Disaster. The blog is called Copywrite, Ink.

 Editorial groups: If you're a writer, editor or general freelancer, you might check out my Freelance Writers and Editors group on Yahoo.

 Blogs: If you have an editing or writing blog (or if you have a particular entry you're proud of), let me hear about it. It doesn't even have to be a writing or editing blog. I just like good writing. Thanks.

    BTW, a good spell check program is Spell Check Anywhere (SpellCheckAnywhere.Com). It adds spell checking to all programs, including blogs. It also has optional grammar checking. Might be of interest.
