She's so used to doing math with her fingers now that she literally can't compute anything without a calculator.<BR/><BR/>I had my own bookkeeping business for a few years, and I'm better than she is, but not much.<BR/><BR/>And as a freelance editor, The Chicago Manual of Style is my best friend. I refer to it constantly. <BR/><BR/>And I do the alphabet thing too.KJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08490843203917062841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29306110.post-870541091498344902008-10-20T23:47:00.000-07:002008-10-20T23:47:00.000-07:00When I am writing something with a pen and a piece...When I am writing something with a pen and a piece of paper, I occasionally catch myself watching the word I have just written to see if I spelled it right.<BR/><BR/>Then I remember that I am a complete idiot and spellcheck is not in fact wandering free in the universe to save me from the heartbreak of bad spelling.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14546701275844134990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29306110.post-47428710952440978472008-10-20T08:38:00.000-07:002008-10-20T08:38:00.000-07:00I majored in drinking and one night stands.
