Spellin' skills. As in goin' hikin'.

Some chyron generator hit spell check, and since "fore" is a word and spell check doesn't recognize homonyms, it went through.

At my son's tv station, somebody made a chyron for Buffalo that came out Bulallo--no spell check performed at all!

@CFrance

A bottle of second growth Bordeaux would likely appease me. I presume you have connections?

It is also good to know that there is someone who is not afraid to shun errors in contract laws.

I might need the services of a local editor for my current project, a Village restaurant murder mystery, "The Bartenders Last Call." That is if you have that type of expertise.

I used to try to get puns past my Editor while writing abstracts for Area Business Databank. Did get a lot through.
