I stumped the spell checker. |

Got a -No Suggestion- from the spell checker. I interpret that as "Fuck if I know what you're talking about!"

if you make enough spelling "errors" the screen will start flashing and then everything you wrote will underline?
I interpret that as the computer saying to me :wtf: do I look like a miracle worker?
I've managed to do that twice. Once when writing a paper on the 19th dynasty in Egypt, another time when writing a paper on the trial of Fatty Arbuckle. In my defense you try typing the names of some of those pharaohs and witnesses and see if your computer doesn't start doing strange things.

So far I've been content to flabbergast my Scrabble game with new words like "flooncing" and "loonary". :)

So the Yukon is in and Washington D.C is out? This is pretty funny, but when ever I use "Wolfowitz" the spell checker always asks me if I mean "Halfwits". Hilarious!
