Most word processing programs have spell check and grammar check. I use Microsoft Word 2003, and run spell check and grammar checks often. On Word 2003, just press F7.

The common mistake I see more often than almost anything else (regarding spelling) and I often do it myself, is...typing the correct spelling of a word while thinking of the non plural, or the plural form - or another word entirely with a correct spelling. (except for accept...their for they're or there...love you instead of let's fuck, etc...)

When I read my manuscript, my eye 'might' see the wrong word, although my brain may accept it. When MS word proofreads my manuscript it will only pick out the typos or the misspellings of words.

But if I meant to type the word: woman ... yet I typed women, unless I am proofing it slowly and pronouncing the words, I may not catch the mistake, and MS Word certainly won't. To the software, there is no mistake, unless you have typed it as womin, wimen, wimon, wuman, etc...

I will have the spell and grammar checking functionality turned on all the time using any software which provides for it to be turned on.

If you don't have access to such functionality, native to your computer you are using - several spell/grammar checking online tools exist, which can be found using Google, and many work very well.
The same GQP demanding we move on from January 6th, 2021 is still doing audits of the November 3rd, 2020 election.

In cases where there is any doubt, it would be good to have an independent party review the story. It's that second set of eyes and a mind that's not on the story that will catch those errors not picked up by the computer's programs.

If anybody at all needs help, just PM me.
