Maybe that's a new word itself! :-)
What I mean though is words like sow and sew and the there(s) - or is that their(s) - or they're(s)... Words that can be spelt correctly but are the wrong spelling for the context.
Does anyone have a good way of searching these out when editing?
:-)
Yeah - I use Adrian's 'find' feature to check for word duplication while editing, if I happen to notice myself over-using something. If you tend to misuse or misspell some words on a regular basis (which I suspect we all do) it's handy for dealing with that. But it'd take forever to go through 100k checking every other word.
I admit to rarely using the spellchecker because what it misses makes it too unreliable. Like Ritesh said, it's down to reading again, and again, and again...*yawn*
You can use Word to highlight individual words, and any incorrectly used or wrongly spelled words.
I usually read my work out loud slowly and patiently looking for them, that's like the best way to do it.
