In my defense, that's the side with the wrist fracture.notagainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02915679111849352765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058472817603514138.post-363447961830747492011-01-30T19:04:31.221-08:002011-01-30T19:04:31.221-08:00Spell-check (or it's more evil cousin, Auto-co...Spell-check (or it's more evil cousin, Auto-correct) must be responsible for a number of the gaffes in the original transcription.
