the DU spell checker is awesome! here's why.....

[Gato Moteado]

i just wrote a post here in GD and did a quick spell check using the handy "Check Spelling" button at the bottom of the page. i had the word asswipes in there, referring to religious fundies. the spell checker flagged asswipes as a misspelled word and offered the suggestion ass-wipes.

now that is awesome!

1. Awesome, correct, and funny.

2. Wouldn't want people to think you meant as-swipes

You know, copy editors who for no reason cut the word as out of all stories.

3. It really is one of the most impressive spell checkers I've

ever used!

In fact, it may be the best.

BTW, next time you need to know how to spell and insult directed toward the fundies, just ask me....I've memorized them all!! ;)

4. Freepers is also in there

10. It's good, that's true! Unfortunately it refuses to accept

"Fallujah". It wants to change it to "Falk". And that I truly resent. It's time EVERYBODY learned about Fallujah.
