    Not only is spelling ignored, but so is history

    “When Texas became one of the United States, she entered into an indissoluble relation” (i.e you cannot leave the union)

      I’d not be surprised if they have a list of Pubic Meetings as well. I had a reporter way further back than I care to think who always ran spellcheck ahead of submitting. This is fine and good practice, as well as saving me time.

      What is not good practice is blindly accepting the first suggestion, so now there are no typos, just incorrect words. I had to ban him from using spellcheck after very nearly missing “party with a causal atmosphere.”
