Hi Ian, That is a great blog, isn't it? Telex machine...gosh, I forgot about those. They were a pretty neat machine, in its day. Barbara's last blog post..Your First Line Can Sink You

Jodith's is a great blog. And as someone who has pushed a mail trolley, operated the switchboard, and even operated a telex machine which most people have never heard of, I can relate to all those tips. Ian Denny's last blog post..Blog Authors - How To Get More Comments Per Visitor

Catherine, It's amazing what extremes some will go through to find company "secrets". Barbara's last blog post..NBOTW Provides Proofreading Tips

Barbara - that is not good. I never thought about people at work being able to read upside down! That is something I will remember in the future. I used to password protect important documents and I discovered that one girl had actually found some service on the Internet to allow her to open them!

Hi Catherine, You're welcome. Like you, reading backwards does seem like a strange way to proofread, but it does force you to read every word. That reminds me of a girl I worked with who would try to read the documents I had on my desk. She would be reading "up side down" as she spoke to me (she was in front of my desk and her eyes were on the paperwork and not on me). I quickly got wise and flipped papers over when I saw her heading my way. Barbara's last blog post..NBOTW Provides Proofreading Tips
