Answer to Question 1

If any mistakes are made due to inattentiveness to detail, it will affect the reputation of the law office and possibly adversely affect the case itself. Opposing counsel and their staff are trained to look through the documents filed by their adversaries to see if any mistakes exist to use against them. This could also be considered a violation of the duty of competence.

Answer to Question 2

Spell Check is helpful in catching misspelled words, errors in grammar, as well as finding things you may not catch, such as an extra space between words, two periods at the end of a sentence, and double words (the the). However, you should not become dependent on it. It is best to learn the rules of grammar, punctuation, and word usage so that you do not become reliant on online assistance. Another reason not to solely rely on Spell and Grammar Check is because certain conjunctions, such as or, and, if, and but may be spelled correctly, but if they are misplaced within a contract, they can make the difference between winning and losing a case. Proper use of proofreading and editing can overcome these limitations.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.
