Taking advantage of the spelling impaired

I think I may have found a new career.

In Online Auctions, Misspelling in Ads Often Spells Cash (New York Times article, requires registration.)

Such is the eBay underworld of misspellers, where the clueless — and sometimes just careless — sell labtop computers, throwing knifes, Art Deko vases, camras, comferters and saphires.

Study finds brain lesions in migraine sufferers

This doesn't make me too happy. I must keep reminding myself, "It's only one study. It's only one study."

I've always had this nagging worry in the back of my brain, because the only person in my family line who was confirmed to have had migraines (my great-grandmother), ended up with severe dementia (whether Alzheimer's related or not, we don't know) and died after a series of strokes. Granted, she was in her mid-80s.

Sigh.
