Actually I should amend that, because, no, I still notice most spelling errors. Ok. I read right through a few sometimes, which is more than I did before.

Ok, maybe I should have phrased that differently. I *corrected* all those errors as I typed, but because the corrected version was different from the original document, I had accuracy points taken off by the test program.

Yes. It was bad. It was very, very, very bad. It was even worse than the picture on the video case led me to expect, which was pretty darn bad anyway. It's more embarrassing taking a video like that up to the counter than it would be renting out porn, because the cover basically makes it *look* like porn only with lower production values and David Carradine.
