I was typing up some notes for a presentation I have to give on Thursday and I misspelled discrepancies, so I decided to start a list of words that I commonly mistype. Fortunately, it’s a pretty short list at the moment, but that may just be due to the fact that I rarely use words that I don’t know how to spell, simply for that very reason.
A client gave me an iTunes gift card for a bit of consulting that I did for him — since I own a Zune and have a Zune Pass (you can’t beat unlimited download + 10 free songs/month), I decided to use the gift credit to purchase Stephen Fry Presents a Selection of Oscar Wilde’s Short Stories. My favorites of the collection are The Happy Prince and The Selfish Giant, both of which I remember reading as a child. I think my appreciation for Oscar Wilde’s writings is comparable to that which many within Christendom have for the works of C.S. Lewis, who I recognize as a wonderful writer but find to come off as a bit too preachy and far too often quoted.
