"Cowardice asks the question...is it safe? Expediency asks the question...is it politic? Vanity asks the question...is it popular? But conscience asks the question...is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because it is right." ~Dr. Martin Luther King

***********************

Initially I spelled Susan's surname with a double a. Then I decided it didn't look right and changed it. 

If it's a word, not a name, I check  the spelling on Wiki. Often I use a word and  iPad changes it.

Sometimes I don't notice and when I re-read at another time I wonder what I meant to say. 

Often I do notice and change it back to the word of my choice but  iPad changes it again. It's like there's a little gremlin inside who thinks he's  in charge. I end up having to use a different word. 

Twice today within the hour, I  accidentally rejected a comment I meant to publish. The first time I copied it and made a post out of it. Second time, I thought , cheez, I'm not doing that again. The iPad j changed the non word cheez to cheer but when I changed it back, it stayed. 

I never know what's likely to happen. 

Fortunately, from my perspective, I am not deterred. 

I'm sure even people who are infuriated by what I have to say, especially if I'm repeating something they would like to be forgotten, would notice if I stopped saying it.
