Re: Rampant Misspellings

Kasumi, you're right about all of the above. A lot of people who have given themselves over to the machine, or who didn't have a decent background in the language before the comp came along, are relying too much on it and not enough on their brain. And the laziness is definitely a factor also.

Overread, I gave up on Shaman's Crossing after about the first 50 or so pages for a different reason. I was a real Hobbs fan for years, the Assassin, Liveship and Fool series were wonderful. But this latest batch looked to me like it was written by someone else entirely - dry, boring and disppointing for me. I couldn't believe it. Just MHO on her latest stuff.
