My job is to schedule studnets in the Air Froce.

I finally had to put “students” and “Force” into my auto-correct because I mis-type them every time I type them (which is about 80 times a day!)

I know how to spell them but apparently my fingers do not!

Similarly, when I was preganant, I was writing a dissertation about Shakesperae and often composed emails about them. Yes, I do know how to spell those words, though I doubt Shakespeare did.

I had to look up ‘priest’ last night after experiencing a sudden moment of doubt about whether i came before e. Perhaps this was a sign from Gdo.

Judgement, in general terms, is correct in English. However, a judge hands down his judgment. Which is even more nonsensical. Newspapers often get this wrong, and I suspect that even the legal term will bow to reason before long.

Accommodate is big enough to accommodate two Ms _and_ two C.
