  18 Jun 2009

  Spell checking is not perfect, but I would not have made it through school without it. Despite my love for spelling and grammar checking, I'm aware of its limitations.

• All things new in spring

  14 May 2007

  Today's entry comes courtesy of Doug Thomas, a new addition to the Office Online editorial ranks. Welcome, Doug. Howdy.
