A nice political one for us Deaf people (or DEAF as Ian insists) is when you spellcheck 'oralists' you get 'moralists' Also 'Deafies' is 'Defies' right on in my book!

Hi Peter, > (BTW My spellchecker wanted to replace Dixons with Dioxins. An omen?) That's nothing! When I use Adobe Pagemaker's spell checker, it tells me that "Kindest regards", which I often end a letter with, is incorrect, and suggests "Kinkiest regards". But not half as bad as the Japanese spell checker which found the name Angus incorrect, and automatically replaced it - minus the "g". (I think you even know the Angus McKenzie it happened to!)
