Since I’ve written about Scrivener before, I wanted to share something I discovered today.
I think Microsoft Word has a better spellchecker.
I ran the spellchecker in Scrivener and found no issues. Just out of curiosity, not sure why, I decided to compile the document as MS Word and then run the spellchecker in MS Word.
MS Word found an error: Barreling.
MS Word wanted to change this to: Barrelling.
I have my software set to Canadian English, hence the difference in spelling. Being cautious, I checked the Oxford English Dictionary, and sure enough barrelling with two r’s and two l’s is the correct form.
Now I’m going to check spelling in both types of software before submitting to my agent.
Anyone else had this problem?
Thanks for reading . . .

Yup but well most of my answers end up with a big question mark.
If my computer could talk, it would say “I’ve got nothing man!”

Maybe it’s a good thing our computers can’t talk. There I some things I just don’t want to share, and some I just want to use the delete key for.
