Let me add some context to better position my evaluation process and my objectives. I am sorry this is going to be longer, and I have to respect the length of the post by putting this in a PDF.

I sometimes get frustrated with my tablet, I edited the document and recreated the PDF twice uploading it, with the corrected error not being remedied.

I wrote a document recently citing the John Burch Society in a quotation. The tablet did not like Burch, opting for Birch. I had to add the word. Now, no matter what I have tried, when I edit the Baltic Burch Plywood in the PDF to correct it to Birch, the screen reflects the change, and then reverts to Burch.... I assure you I know it is Birch! LOL

That is a problem with letting a spell 'checker' be a spell 'corrector'. :D

Give a machine too much control and we are all in trouble!!!


Think BORG! :eek: I actually liked one of them! :rolleyes:

I actually liked two: 7 of 9 and Ernest.

There was someone who wanted him to appear in the series in a cameo, as 9 of 9 and his line reportedly would have been: I am 9 of 9, but you may call me Ernest.

Sadly, they never were able to bring that about. It would have been funny to most of us.

RIP Ernest Borgnine

I liked 'Earnest' in the "crazy race who only spoke in terms of history" episode.

I'm certainly a fan of 7 of 9, but I really like Icheb (the oldest of the Borg children on Voyager), and One was interesting, as well!
