[humanser] Thanks and hopes for the future

[Doug Lee]

Another trick I use: If I have a favorite misspelling of a particular
word, I'll add a horribly mispronounced version of my misspelling to
my screen reader's dictionary, so that next time I type the wrong
spelling of that word, it sticks out at me like a sore thumb. For
example, I often used to mistype "dimension" as "dimention." So my
JAWS dictionary makes "dimention" speak as "dimenteon," which sounds
clearly wrong. Over time, such a peculiar dictionary entry serves to
condition me to quit making that particular mistake.

I use the spell checker, and then look at the word after it is corrected to
remember next time how to spell it.  I also lok them up on google.
