The Printer’s Devil

Always use a spelling checker.

Always encourage your reporters to use a spelling checker.

Always trust your spelling checker as far as you can throw a player piano.

The spelling checker doesn’t always catch missed words or grammar errors, which are usually more embarrassing than misspelled words.

It’s also easy to sit there punching the skip button in a daze and pass on misspelled words.

A spelling checking doesn’t substitute for good copyediting.
