Bridgit,
I finally checked the spelling of your name, and I apologize for the many
months I have misspelled it.
I agree with your comments. JAWS is a great help to spelling because one
knows that if it sounds strange, it is most likely misspelled and the  spell
checker picks up most of it. On average I pick up about four errors in every
e-mail I write just by reading it back, and a few more by running the spell
checker.
On some occasions, in a rush, I forget. It is embarrassing when the
realization hits.
Jackie

Donna and others,

It amazes me how many people send emails and texts with misspelled
words; and no, they are not meant to be abbreviations. I've noticed, and
this is not an across the board generalization so no panties getting in
a bunch (ha-ha) but I see a lot of people using sight, with and without
magnification, have frequent spelling and punctuation errors, while JAWS
users, not all mind you, have less errors since they are hearing back
what they write. And in general, it amazes me people don't double check
what they write, blind or not.

Sincerely,
Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter

Dave,
Yes, I've encountered that a number of times. I don't think they re read
what they've written. I guess I'm not cynical enough to believe they
really don't know the difference. Donna
