spell check...

part of my job as a 2L legal writing TA is to meet with first year students to help them prepare for their oral arguments. so that i can prepare for these meetings, i've asked that they submit copies of their briefs to me in my school mailbox. i'm noticing a trend in reading these briefs. that trend is to spell "de minimis" as "de minimus". first years? this is incorrect. don't believe me? consult a dictionary.

thank you.
