Reason #38

The other day, while entering the revisions on your timeslip, I noticed you had circled the word "demurrer" and wrote "SP?" indicating you weren't sure if that word was spelled correctly.

You like bragging about how you're an attorney who's been practicing for over 20 years...and you don't know how to spell demurrer?  Granted, you don't deal with litigation, you usually handle transactional work, but you went to law school.  At Harvard. 

I've been working in the legal industry half as long as you and have not gone to law school, let alone Harvard, and even I know how to spell demurrer.

Not to mention, our time entry system tells you when you've spelled a word incorrectly and it did not indicate in your entry that it was misspelled.  So, common sense should have prevailed right there when your Harvard Law education failed you.
