I'm a poor excuse for an English major. I often commit horrible writing offenses. I do have an excuse - I had a stroke 10 years ago. It was much worse way back then, I've come a long, long way - but I still have brain glitches, and my writing (and memory too) has never been the same.
I am finding Firefox is great because it highlights misspelled words as you go along. Not that that helps when you are apt to confuse "write" with "right." Or when you just ramble on endlessly ... I do that when I'm tired or haven't quite woken up yet. Or forget people's real names. I am sorry, I have trouble with that. Please don't anyone take offense - I can totally blank on names of people I see every week too. I admire how Angie can remember all these little details about everyone. My memory doesn't work that way.
Yes, everyone has a voice in my head too. Khris, I imagine that you sound just like my midwestern relatives, who complain I talk too fast.
