I need to see these Malkovich ads. I think creepy is a hobby for him.
I see all kinds of stuff in fic especially
Oh, the homonyms. I see peek/peak confusion a lot. And words that aren't quite homonyms, but close enough to make me wonder if the writer is using voice recognition software and not really editing.

Thanks, Jesse!
Reading handwriting is my superpower.

Yikes.
I'm telling you, there needs to be a homonym checker in addition to a spell checker. Do I need to kickstarter this shit? Word 6 should have had this feature. No excuses. Definitely 20 years later!
