SNAKE POOP

2025-05-28-Snake-Poop-DGabaldonWhat’s on my mind? Hmmm…. Well, I was reading through a chunk of ABFAWGO (hey, at least it’s a pronounceable abbreviation. If you want to call the book BLESSING or WARRIOR, though, fine by me…), and came to this sentence:

“I took the bottle and poured a bit more whisky all round; this was clearly going to take some time.”

Beastly Microsoft Word naturally popped in with its Helpful Suggestions, to wit:

That as I’m making a comparison (it thinks), I should change “whisky” to “whiskier”.

Mm.  Hmm...

Edmond Thornfield OMG! You have that spellchecker enabled? Eight or more times out of ten, it is either wrong or irrelevant. Does it not annoy you?
