btw, I hope their rating system is better in other areas than for spelling. I have to respectfully disagree with an "excellent rating" for a page they say contains seven misspelled words.
Do I sense a retired educator?<grins>
I think they are reaching for the best application of subjective terms to categorize groups. "Excellent" is a subjective term that might equate to a "2" on a scale of 1-5, if memory serves me. I also believe they build in a 'fluff' factor in that their dictionary is not exhaustive. Many less commonly used words aren't in their dictionary. I know that every time I use a Spanish word on my site, I get 'dinged' according to them.
PS. I too am a stickler for misspellings. Somehow, though, they invariably seem to creep into my work, regardless of my spell-checking, my proofing, and my wife's proofing.
Then, I get the site posted to the web and there, the misspelling seems to be lit up on a neon banner. Know the feeling? Dave
