How Do You Spell That?

Spelling in the blogosphere doesn't seem to be that big of a deal.

But put a misspelling elsewhere, and, well... Everyone and their brother will point it out to you.

Sometimes, misspellings are one of those things that just creep up on you...

Even in major movies. And yes, there even are people who keep track of such things, like the website MovieMistakes.com. According to them, Jurassic Park should have had someone one the spell check. In the scene where actor Nedry is taking the embryos from cold storage, one of the labels is misspelled; "Stegasaurus" should be "Stegosaurus".

Not a huge problem when you put it into perspective. But a little embarrassing nonetheless.

Well, if it can happen in a Spielberg film, then who's immune to spelling errors? Yes, we had some of our own spelling difficulties with on our feature film, Dear J...

And the word that gave us the most trouble?

Well, how do you spell 'Psychologist'?

For us, this proved to be a tricky word. So much so, that we had to have two different name tags for the character Dr. Frolick (played by Allison Lane)... all because the first name tag was spelled incorrectly. It wouldn't have been a problem except that we needed it for an extreme close-up!

Now, watch. Someone's going to find a spelling error that we didn't catch!
