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!

I once sent a letter to 'dear alligator' rather than 'dear alistair'.

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!)
George.
