File under things I think are funny ....
So we use Mozilla Thunderbird for our email system ... I kinda hate it, but that's probably because I'm too brainwashed by Microsoft to think that anything but outlook is a cheap knock off ... Anyhow, I've noticed some funny occurrences with how spellcheck handles certain names.
Here are some funny (I think) examples -- the real name is listed first with the spellcheck suggestion following it:
- Neuwirth -- Mirthful
- Jowaisis -- Waistcoat
- Suellentrop -- Repellent
- Lauffer -- Chauffeur
- Lexoria - Inexorable
- Dykeman -- Brakeman
- Guzzo -- Guzzler
- Yurcaba -- Bifurcate
- Beaubien -- Beautician
- Mostafa -- Hemostat
- Hondros -- Wondrous
- Putze -- Deputize, and last, but not least ...
- Carmack -- Carjack
Of course, every time I see or talk to our think about the folks these names belong to, I think about the spellcheck name ... and chuckle.
