One of my bad habits is that I rely too heavily on a spell checker. I've never taken the time to try to improve my spelling skills, I just hit the "check spelling" button and if it doesn't find anything, I think I'm done.

Another of my bad habits is that I don't proof e-mails before I send them. I proof them afterwards. Sometimes as much as a day or two later.

I've just realized that earlier this evening, I sent an e-mail to a family we go to church with, which read in part:

"We thought we'd invite you guys to come over Saturday for a cock out."

Oh, death, where is thy sting?
