Considering some of the legitimate words I've seen various spellcheckers
- not just Juno's - object to (including people's names), the incredibly
.wrong. suggestions, and the limited vocabulary of others, I want no part
of an automatic correction.
I'm on a number of canine genetics lists. I doubt that a spellchecker
knows about chromosomes, mtDNA, AKC, etc. I know I had to add
"coccidiodomycosis" to the dictionary. (Never can spell that sucker!)
Just for the heck of it......
It wants "spellcheck" and variants as two words. I should have addressed
this message to "Ba bette" (what's .that.?), "Baguette(s)" or
"Barrette(s)".
And, yes, I sometimes deliberately mis-spell words for effect, not
including the times that this old keyboard (it came off my 286) writes
"oo" for "o".
