My name is Lacey and sometimes I spell things wrong...
I had the opportunity to chat with someone this weekend about my website. While on the phone, she pointed out to me that I had spelled a word wrong on the 'babies don't keep' poem. YIKES!!!
Spell check is a lovely invention, especially if you use it!!!
I was so embarrassed and so I decided to blog about it. See if you can spot the mistake.
I do my best to catch the mistakes but it is so important for you to double check the proof I send you before your order is cut.
Now, the jury is still out on how to spell "till."
Let me know what you think about that one, I've seen so many different ways.
Thanks for playing my game and sharing in my embarrassment!

I believe you should spell it 'til, since it is a shortened version of until.
Oh, by the way, I am a spelling freak, so if you ever get tired of spell checking, I'd love to help you out!
Oh dear! I do love that little poem, though. I believe it's till because I think till and until are actually different words even though they mean the same thing. You might have to check a dictionary to be sure...
till is what you do to the ground this 'til is short hand for until which is what you are trying to say here. hope that helps. Just remember when you shorthand things add a ' in place of letters and spell it the rest of the way the same.

I have found this poem several different times from different sources and they all spell it till. My son has dyslexia and sometimes misspells (sp? lol) things but it's ok. We can't always be perfect and I think you are really brave for talking about it.
