David’s posterous

Gmail didn't like the common word "advisor" when I typed it today. I am used to having an average of one word per paragraph complained about by spell checkers. Usually, it's a personal name, a brand name, or a word from a language that isn't English. But this was strange - and almost as frustrating as the fact that the Iphone SMS program consistently re-spells my word its as "it's". Yes, that is probably the Worst Apostrophe in English, designed entirely to confuse second-language learners and to make people who know how to spell think they know something useful.

But I like having advisors, and I like being an advisor.
