Re: Confidence in vendors..slightly OT

Hello,

Eye wood knot trussed a computer spell checker two fined awl miss
steaks!

Doug,

I agree with you! But I feel that the spell checkers have actually
CAUSED more poor output. It seems the newspapers I read nowadays are
many times similar to the nonsense (but spelled correctly) sentence I
wrote above. The thought seems to be, the computer passed it, so it
must be okay!

Some pet peeves. Then, instead of than. Your, instead of you're.
Spell checker won't catch those either.

On the other hand. Many brilliant people can't spell worth a whit...
And the new business model(fewer people) means that these "idea"
people are pressed into service as graphic artists/ copywriters.
(sometimes they put themselves there, again trusting the computer to
get it right FOR THEM)

So I'm afraid we'll be seeing more, not less of this...

BTW, I'd STILL buy the Fadal! Pretty good machines, IMO.

P.S. MaxNC and CncPRO have had "hard" coded speeling errors for
years. Even after the errors were pointed out! This concerns me, for
the reasons you mention...

Yes, I'm aware of the speeling above :-) B.
