Oh my! you spelled "architect" wrong. Please check it.

Also, you need to take into account the differences in spelling if you are in USA or UK, such as 'organize' versus 'organise', and so on.

Don't depend on Spell Check or Grammar Check May 09, 2008 9:55 AM

Technology is wonderful but far too many rely on spell check and grammar check to verify their writing.

There are words that are similar but have very different meanings, such as: loose, lose, advise, advice, and I used to remember these words with little statements.

A loose tongue can cause you to lose your reputation.

When I give advice, I am advising another person.

My greatest challenge in writing is having to "shift gears."

I write for college in APA format, write for work in managing people, write for media, and each of these require I "switch gears" and this can be very challenging for me.
