What was that word? Just kidding.

I am new with this technology and wish that I could write these documents
in Word Perfect where I would use my spell-checker. Until I learn how to
do that, I'll be writing in Pine an tolerating the small mistakes that are
too impractical to eliminate.


 someone for not putting a hyphen in the word
"no-frames."

Like I said, if it were a typo, forget it. But I think it is useful to
avoid the word constructions that I described. Mistakes are one thing,
carelessness is another, and a preference for lingo is another. It's a
matter of the person's intention and willingness to accommodate.

If there is anything I can alter, besides typos, that will make reading
through a braille display easier for you, please let me know.

I wouldn't call it, "grief." Maybe just, "a minor hastle."

for those using
speech synthesizers.
