I pressed "publish" without first reviewing what I'd written. That meant I hadn't engaged my internal editor, and so I wrote "would never have guess" rather than "would never have guessed."

Neither my Kindle dictionary or my Merriam-Webster tree book (or, for that matter, any of the online dictionaries) had that definition. And when I looked up Poke Sallet Annie, I discovered that it was a 1968 song entitled "Polk Salad Annie." I would never have guess that spelling.Amanda Cabothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13523905023471059098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6507548911400837437.post-34566731984135625592019-01-16T16:00:22.282-07:002019-01-16T16:00:22.282-07:00Sometimes I'm tempted to let Spell Checker do ...Sometimes I'm tempted to let Spell Checker do its worst and then laugh at the results, but who has the time for that?Amanda Cabothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13523905023471059098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6507548911400837437.post-10350538522400027772019-01-16T15:59:39.039-07:002019-01-16T15:59:39.039-07:00Leslie -- I'm still thinking about next month&...Leslie -- I'm still thinking about next month's post, which is why I didn't include a hint.

I have found all kinds of errors in language, grammar, and spelling. I'm only on page 10. I think I'll give this story a miss.
