have a story that i want to submit but it says I have errors in grammar but I have fixed them despite it trying to correct me either spelling that i give. Im stuck. Ive let others look at my work and they say it is fine.

Would appreciate it if an editor would look over and tell me what I did wrong because I don't see it.

help!

Sounds like you're depending you something like MS Word to correct your mistakes. It's basically gr 3 level. You'll need to study up to know when it's wrong, and it often is.

It is hoped this was taken care of some time ago.

I'm not sure I agree with that. MS spell check is an acceptible spell check. I am running into the same problem with my submissions. And this is a recent development over the last 4 months.

I see a lot of stories that have been run through a computer spellchecker and are still full of errors that the spellchecker can't detect. Things like "He put his arms around her waste"... and this site has more than one story where burglars have turned into "buglers".
