I recall that I began to spell poorly in the fifth grade, when I refused to study for my spelling tests. Perhaps its not a natural gift to me to spell properly in the first place, but I certainly could have made it easier if I tried. So, I suppose that you can safely say that I rely heavily on spell check. Often this gets me into trouble because spell check is an amazing thing that is often no use at all. Often, my spelling is so off that it doesn't even recognize what it was I was trying to spell. That's pretty bad. Other times, I find myself changing words as I mindlessly click buttons around. The other day, I found myself writing something that was meant for all of my in-laws to read, and after I "published" what I wrote Isaiah pointed out that I told them all that I was "Barley" there.
According to the all-knowing Wikipedia, barley is Barley is a cereal grain derived from the annual grass Hordeum vulgare. The All wise computer once again put me in my place, and I was Barley there. He....he...he....
