Never Trust Your Word Processor
Linke, Dirk
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, v37 n6 p377 Nov-Dec 2009
In this article, the author talks about the auto correction mode of word processors that leads to a number of problems and describes an example in biochemistry exams that shows how word processors can lead to mistakes in databases and in papers. The author contends that, where this system is applied, spell checking should not be left to a word processor.
