It immediately gets points for being not-Edmonton, of course...

Hmm... Does anyone on my flist have any thoughts about living in Lethbridge? wordsleadmeon? I've been through there a couple time but only when I was little, so I wasn't exactly assessing it for livability

*giggles* Sorry I can't help you with Lethbridge, but... yay for the Spellchecker Of Awesomeness!! Remember Sailor Angel? *lol*

Spellchecker strives to keep us entertained, even if it's not always helpful! *G*

I remember back in 1993 (was it then) when I first started using a program with a spellchecker, I had some students work I was going through and I put into the computer (it was one of those old Mac Classics, that they now seal up and turn into Maquariums). Anyway the student had written Prick-Teaser and I was trying to work out if it should be hyphenated or not (of course both are acceptable) and also was probably trying to add new and important terms to my computer... anyway, the alternative spelling for prickteaser was bricklayer... I wonder if it still is?

Sorry I didnt mean to say that I was putting their work into a computer (how tedious would that be). I meant that I was using it to check spellings to come up with funny alternatives mostly.

Heeee! I don't know about that one, but I can tell you for certain that it tries to turn 'cocksucker' into 'crosskicker'. Oh spellcheck, trying so hard to make our writing all respectable and stuff... X-D
