GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT<br />

Hence the need for basic spelling skills remains, and is the focus of<br />

this chapter. <strong>The</strong> information that follows won't turn a poor speller in<strong>to</strong><br />

nuances and common pitfalls. It covers the <strong>to</strong>pic in a broad sense, includ­<br />

word, but should have an eye for when something doesn't look quite<br />

right, and the common sense <strong>to</strong> reach for the dictionary if there's any<br />

doubt.<br />
