Technology setbacks

Back in high school, I was beginning to write more and more research papers. Like many students I use Microsoft Word to write all my papers. However, one night I was pulling an all-nighter to write a 6 page paper. It was getting down to a few minutes before class was about to start, so I used spell/grammar check to go over my paper. A couple weeks later I got my paper back and didn't get the grade I expected. Turned out that my paper was full of sentences that didn't make too much sense and all my thoughts and ideas were all jumbled. Made me realize then, that while spell check is a great tool, I can't rely on it and should look over my paper one more time before turning it in.
