Microsoft Spell Check FAIL
As we all know spell check isn't foolproof. We all get caught out when we mistype a word that really is a word, but not the one we wanted. I presume this is how the typos that I'm finding in my nursing modules happened.
I sometimes wish Microsoft had a medical dictionary option, because when I use a lot of medical terms I get a page full of red squiggly lines. I then either ignore them or add them to my dictionary. Last week the dictionary failed to recognize the term 'myeloma'. Myeloma is a primary tumour of the bone marrow. One of Microsoft's suggestions to replace myeloma was 'milkman'.
??? Out of what ass did they put that suggestion out of?
Now Firefox doesn't recognize myeloma either, but its suggestions - melanoma, melodrama - are a hell of a lot closer than milkman.
If I had followed Microsoft's suggestion, I would have 'multiple milkman', which reminded me of this:
Microsoft FAIL! But really, is anyone surprised?
2 Witty Remarks:
lol, that's pretty funny. I've seen a few pearlers from Google too. Can't remember any of them though... I must be getting old. Oh dear!
Spell check never works well for me either. Love the milkman clip.
