Talking Spell Check Suggestions

I have just tried to write an e-mail including the line "How do we become members?"

I made a typo and wrote "How do we become mebers?"

The spell checker SUGGESTED the best choice would be "How do we become embers?"

LOL. I also used to seriously fancy a television presenter called Trish Williamson (still do, actually - Trish, e-mail me) - -spell checker always wanted her to be called Trash Williamson.

Anybody else spotted any real funnies?

BTW - Carol Vorderman....you can e-mail too.

(Please).

MS Word on Office 97 threw up an oddball if you typed "worldwide". If you spell-checked it, it would suggest "world-wide". If you selected that option, you would immediately get a green wiggly line. Running grammar checker suggested "worldwide" again. One of the programmers playing silly bu&&ers, methinks.

RO Tiree,

I've had loads of errors like that. The left arm not knowing what the right arm is doing I think. Then again have you heard about MS Access and their licencing problem which means that you have to rename a font before you can get it to run? Weird story, I'll post it some day.

I once forgot the hyphen in 'co-pilot'. Spellcheck came up with a rather appropriate alternate of ' copulate ' !!!
