    What's the most misspelled word?

    Firefox automatically spell checks as you are writing. Firefox shows incorrectly spelled words by underlining it with a red squiggly line. To change spelling simply click on the indicated word and choose from option list given by Firefox. I don't know why anyone would still use I.E.

    Bad non-fiction that you've recently read

    The Wishing Year: A House, a Man, My Soul A Memoir of Fulfilled Desire by Noelle Oxenhandler. Ugh! I thought the telling of the 'Wishing Year' journey to be disjointed and often tedious. :sad:
