It's somewhat shocking to discover from a Google Doodle that Sesame Street is 40 years old. The educational show created by the Children's Television Workshop certainly has legs, as they say, and Google has chosen to highlight the ones belonging to Big Bird rather than exploit Kermit, Bert and Ernie, Elmo or other likely candidates… Well, that's true for the US and Canada, though your local version of Google may vary. There are different logos and different characters in different countries, as The Next Web has pointed out. And in the UK, where Sesame Street (as distinct from The Muppets) has not had the same cultural impact, Google has gone with Wallace and Gromit's 20th birthday instead. Google's Sesame Street celebration is slightly early ‐‐ it should be on 10 November, when there will be an anniversary show featuring First Lady Michelle Obama, with or without Hula Hoop. There will also be a couple of books: Sesame Street: A Celebration of Forty Years of Life on the Street, and Street Gang: The Complete History of Sesame Street.

An error is basically: anything that doesn’t look like the original.

How do I know if it’s wrong? Rule Example

1. When you misspell the word smal instead of small

2. When you mis‐capitalize a word SMall instead of Small

3. If you add extra spaces between words or sentences.

I love you . instead of I love you.

4. If you use the wrong punctuation. Hello. There instead of Hello, there.

All lessons and drills are self‐adjusting and automatically match any grade level. Our software is successfully used by anyone who can read the on‐screen instructions. This includes people with disabilities, children with special needs, Senior Citizens with a touch of arthritis, and executives with no time to waste. One of the most common problems is placement of the hands on the keyboard. The Home Row monitor auto‐matically detects this and quickly shows what's wrong and how to correct it. In the example shown here, the left hand is out of position on the keyboard. Fixing this is easy, once the problem is shown clearly and quickly.
