Computer Tips and TricksYou've probably noticed that it's easier to catch the mistakes in someone else's writing than in your own. That's because our brains tend to see what we meant—not what's actually there. As a result, it's easy to miss runon sentences or confuse cite and site. Your word-processor can't solve all of these problems for you, but it can reduce the tedium of revision. Just follow David Premo's advice:
Be especially suspicious if Word tells you have a subject-verb agreement error or when it suggests adding an apostrophe. For more about grammar check's fallibility, see Professor Krishnamurthy's grammar check page. C. Clark Helms, a student in the IT program, has advice on how to customize Word's grammar check.
