Detesting Auto-Correct

For the record, folks, I actually do know the difference between "taught" and "taut." In my previous post, about Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, I chose the term "taut" to describe Tennessee Williams' crackling script. But then, while proofreading the post, I failed to notice that Auto-Correct had changed the spelling to "taught." 

No idea how many of you will even read this post, but the inveterate wordsmith in me just can't let a blooper like that stand under my byline.

Final word: Harumph!
