I am constantly amazed at how the spell check on my computer works, or doesn’t work. I have certain words that I use frequently and have a brain block against. Here is how I spelled one of them:
crucifiction
The spell checker was clever enough to tell me it was spelled wrong. That worked, but when I clicked for a correction it told me, “No suggestions”.
Really? The correct spelling is “crucifixion”. Surely that isn’t such a big stretch.
Keep in mind that computers are not smart. They are fast and generally have good memories but that is it. AI will never replace thinking, at least for Republicans.

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.
Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.

I like the way that grammar check was apparently done by someone for whom English is a second language.
ReplyDeleteI remember when that first appeared. Like much of new technology I was willing to give it a try. Once was enough. The grammar police hate the passive and other ways of expressing human thought. I never thought of the ESL approach.
DeleteGrace and peace.
