Hi to all the Openbook users,

I would like to request that you go into your spelling corrections dictionary, and delete com becomes corn. I'm not sure at all who the one was that originally decided to put it in the corrections dictionary, but I believe it was ill advised. I am very tired of reading about: accornpany, becornes, cornpanies, cornmanders, etc. I can't conceive of why they did this, especially when you consider all the words with com in them, as opposed to corn.
Another word in the dictionary that could use attention is tom becomes torn. I guess the people at Freedom Scientific have a very low opinion of the success rate in recognizing o m combos, or should I say cornbos. If the Openbook users don't want to do away altogether with the tom becomes torn, they can at least make it a case sensitive search. This would then preclude our creating a whole new group of people with very sheik names like Torn Bradley, Torn Miller, Torn Smith, etc.
Being an Openbook user myself, I have already ditched the corn one, and at least for a while I'll try the torn as a case sensitive conversion.
Thank you for reading, or should I say listening to / feeling, my ranting.


Dave
