You are obviousy very thorough (12 times). But it an take that many times to flush out the errors. And spell check can be one's worst enemy, but it helps. It's good for basic writing, but not for foreign words or some old regionsal words. I like the idea of a mind-eye-finger connection which is why some authors sill write the first draft in longhand, but I've been keying since high school, and by now most of us are mind-eye-typing fingers.

There are so many tiny errors that can occur in writing a novel, in so many different areas. I doubt if there's ever a perfect novel published, but I aim for close. Thanks for sharing Rhobin.
