My New Spellcheck

As most of us know, the blogger spellcheck leaves much to be desired!! I mean, it is helpful, but only to an extent. I laugh most of the time at the words that pop up in the check box and even more at the options I have to change them. It's especially funny with names! Here are a few examples:

Em = en
Kt = KDE
anty = ante
Alex McManus = Alex mismanage
Tony Sheng = Tony shank
blog = bloc
blogger = blocker
blogging = flogging
spellcheck = splices
(Don't mean to pick on you guys, but I just had to laugh!!)

This phenomena gets even funnier when trying to use another language, such as French, like I did yesterday. I knew I hadn't spelled the word "rendezvous" correctly, but blogger's spell check didn't offer me any options other than what I had already spelled. So, I went to my new spell check, typed in my spelling of the word and up pops this:





Did you mean: rendezvous

Don't you love being asked nicely, "Did you mean...?" in nice big, blue bold print? Well, at least they got it correct!
