Computer. Wondrous are thee ciencies and consistencies that can be gained by using a computer (word processor, spellchecker, and grammar checker) in your writing And woeful are the errors that overreliance on computers can produce!
Computers are useful writing tools because they can so easily copy, move, and check things. But they can also easily be made to move and copy things in the wrong places, leaving unwanted remnants of such cutting and pasting if we don’t supplement the computer’s speed and ease with care and attention in our writing,
revising, and proofreading. It is so easy to move a character or space too much,
leaving an inadvertently spliced word behind (or too many spaces or a fragment no longer wanted where a phrase used to be. And it is so easy to push the copy button more than once or too long, creating redundancies and other embarrassments.
But nothing is so seductively helpful and disruptive as the spellchecker. Butt their canned bee errors in thus document—I spill chucked it trice True, but did you look with care to see if the properly spelled but completely inappropriate words were in the right order, had the right meanings, were not misused homonyms or other tricky words (Look again at the quoted sentence. Virtually every word in it is the wrong one for the sentence. For example, their is spelled correctly but is grammatically wrong. It should be there) In the big inning God created the word is all spelled right, but it doesn’t quite meet the highest standards of accuracy.

So by all means write on the computer and bene t from its e ciencies and ability to help check for and maintain consistency. But don’t believe fora minute that all those handy tools take the place of careful, attentive writing, revising, and proofreading. Otherwise, you might be in fora sore prize.

spelling, and dictionary.
Conjugation. Verbs change forms to agree with their noun subjects and tore ect

tense, mood, voice, and soon. The forms into which they change are called
“conjugations.” See also noun and agreement.
Most verbs change in regular patterns into their various forms, but some are irregular in pattern and require memorization or checking of grammar references or other authoritative sources. There are few if any acceptable variants of conjugation forms, and it is very important to form verb persons, tenses, moods, voices, and soon absolutely correctly. Few errors are more glaring than improperly conjugated verbs.
See the entries for each tense, mood, voice, person, or number for proper usage of the forms outlined here. This entry discusses only the mechanics of conjugation, not proper use of the verb forms. See also entries for important specific verbs.
