@tibia You're probably right. I do that all the time, but fortunately I always catch it when it happens.

@Aunty Christ I don't like spell check for that reason. And besides, I'm a good speller so I would rather check it by reading because I usually catch the errors.

The worst part is the fact that most of these would have been caught by spell check.

On The Awesome Album Milla Jovovich Made When She Was 16
@hethyrworld Hey, I went to Rowan too! Must've been the Fall of '94 or later, because it wasn't when I was there.
I did see Run DMC there, which was awesome. :)

On "Mission Impossible": I Don't Understand How Tall Everyone Is
This was great, but it took me a long time to scroll past that first picture of Paula Patton.
Aaaand I just had to scroll back up and look again. Yowza.

On From Now On, You Have to Make Your Own Red Velvet Cupcakes
One time I made green velvet cake because I had a pan that was shaped like Christmas trees. I used a LOT of food coloring in order to make it a really dark green color. The cake didn't come out very well cosmetically but it still tasted good, so I brought it to work to get help eating it.
Because I'd eaten it the night before, I was the first to notice that it made my poop green! Not green-ISH, but REALLY GREEN. Naturally, everyone else at work just had to try a piece and report on the results once it worked through their system. It made the cake quite popular!

@TheTrenchantWench Buttermilk is great for waffles. It makes them light and fluffy! And healthier, too.

On Eat, Pray, Tube: Adrift on the Delaware River
Yeah, we New Jerseyans love being reduced to stereotypes.
Anyway, I only went tubing on the Delaware once, and there weren't very many people on the river. It was actually pretty enjoyable except for the fact that 10 minutes into it, my dad and brother forced me to paddle because the river wasn't moving quickly enough. That ruined the experience.

On What's The Best Seat On The Coney Island Cyclone?
Don't go back on the Scream Machine in adulthood. Maybe it was great when it was new, but now it's rattly and horrible. It gave me a headache, and many people I've spoken to about it have said the same thing. You should especially avoid it if you're short like me and your head doesn't clear the shoulder harness, because it will be banging the sides the entire time.

@cecil hungry Yeah, I can recall some programs forcing you to run spell check on each text box rather than the entire document, which is very annoying and time-consuming.
What I hate most about it is that it takes forever because I have to keep hitting "skip/ignore" on all the proper names, web/email addresses, and jargon.
