I started out to write something, but it was tripe. I deleted it. I re-purposed myself to write something else, made a good start, then realized it too was tripe. I deleted it. An impassioned political thought later raced through my mind and I sat down at this computer and my fingers began to fly…
Even with spell chack, auto correct, and repeating persuals, it is nearly impermeable to edit one’s own writing corractly. I try and try, failing miserlyable. Ever one of my blog posts has been subjected to my own very close scrubtiny, yet ever single time I read one, I see numerous errors, omissions, subjective and verb…
“Formulary? I didn’t even know I had one,” you might say. “What is a formulary?” Your formulary is the list of approved medications for which your health insurance will pay full policy benefits.
