I remember writing papers when I was in high school. Computer word processing was just becoming the norm, and everyone, including myself, thought spell check was the greatest thing since sliced bread. But when those papers were graded, the teacher often caught things that the word processor missed.

This video is for those who have relied too heavily on spell checking to do the proofreading for them. Sometimes we spell the words correctly, but they are just the wrong words.

Taylor Mali has composed a thorough report on the importance of proofreading, but it seems that he forgot that very “impotent” step in his writing.

We writers can learn a lesson from this. In Taylor’s words, “The red penis your friend.”
