True, nobody's perfect.
But this is an excellent illustration of why writers and publishers should never rely too heavily on spell-checkers, grammar-checkers, search and replace, etc. Note that I said "too heavily". They are useful tools - if you don't get lazy and assume they'll do all your work for you with nothing more than the push of a button. In this case, just searching for instances one by one, and replacing them only after checking to be sure that was indeed called for, would have avoided the whole thing. A global search and replace, where you click "Replace All", is a very dangerous thing. (So dangerous, for a long time, I had a macro I wrote which replaced the Replace function.  The sole purpose of that macro was to make a copy of the original before doing anything remotely like a global replace.) ~~~~~~Signature's Off~~~~~~
