I just received my Feb 2005 issue of 'SOARING' today
and noticed a new word I'll have to add to my vocabulary.


The only quote worth repeating form the inimitable Marion Barry, former and
now again elected official of the District of Columbia, was a remark once
made to a reporter querying him about being caught in a drug bust . . .he
said:

"Get Over It".

big grin

The full article will be available on the website www.abqsoaring.org
within the next couple of days. For those of you who have read the
article, the tutorial on how to submit to the OLC also resides on the
same page. (Reference to it in the mag, but no link)
-Mitch
P.S. Not criticizing, just trying to get the full information out
there for what I feel is an important article that people would be
extremely interested to read!

Mrs Hall went to visit an author friend in the hospital. He was
complaining about a miss-spelled word in a magazine article he wrote.
Mrs Hall said "what's the big deal?. The author replied "mrs Hell, it
makes a hall of a difference". Miss-spelled words in a magazine may not
be important, but it is sloppy, IMHO.

Of course, application spell checkers lead to all sorts of grammatical and
spelling errors these days. My home town paper has more than it's share.
AP has more than a few also.

Its a shame.

Personally, I rely on the spell-checker to keep me safe from
special disorientation.
