Noun. [C1]

Examples

“Some people might wonder⟳ why we still need⟳ copy⟳ editors when we have⟳ spell-check. Although it is a pain whenever I want⟳ to double⟳ a consonant before a suffix, per New Yorker style, and the spell-check prefers the no-frills version—“mislabeled,” say⟳, instead of “mislabelled”—and I have⟳ to go back and poke in the extra letter and then put⟳ up with a disapproving red line under the word, I would never disable spell-check.”

“Maybe the guys make⟳ things with kale, kohlrabi, exotic vegetables, and their favorite spice is cilantro. Which I have⟳ in my cupboard, but never use⟳. And yes, I know⟳ how to spell⟳ cilantro, without using spell-check.”

“Day in and day out, administrative assistants, sales people, executives and people holding all types of positions continue⟳ to make⟳ silly errors in emails, correspondence, fliers and advertisements. Most of these errors could be avoided by proofreading and using spell-check.”
