A fun read! I can't wait to read the next installment (I'm in the US, so it's an installment, not an instalment). I wish you had a few pictures, though, I'm going to do a Search right now to see what this thing is you are talking about... |

Oh you so do not want to start me on this again...
but in case you do, answer me this, "What is the purpose of written language?"
And also "Why is Latin defined as a dead language?"
If you choose not to answer, I'll consider you wiser then a simple spell checker, Otherwise your opening flood gates that people should have learned to just leave alone by now... |

My word. I suppose my Mac Mini must come with a spellchecker, buried in among its various treasures. But then, there is so much to discover about my new Mac Mini and I have only begun to scratch the surface. This is, after all, only chapter 1. More is to follow. |

Well, I like Chapter 2. They're short reads, though. Maybe you can take the next two and add them together, to make 3 or something. It took me less time to read than one of our news articles. OK, no, it was a bit longer, but I think they're a bit short.
But that's just me. I'm impatient. |

How about collating them into one big piece once they're all done? |

Could do, I suppose. But I'd rather the length was good in the first place. Not that I'm trying to be the editor here. Just saying what I thought as a reader.
It's more of a pain to collect them all into on place after the face with this particular CMS. But it gives me an idea, which I'm going to think about more before I talk about it. |
