    Even more, the Word spell checker censors as well. Try typing in shti or fukc, for instance. You won't find the obvious expletives among the spellchecker suggestions.

      I'm suddenly reminded of an old Asimov story, in which a seasoned writer has his career usurped by a new, intelligent, spell checking word processor. The computers are coming for us.

        Yeah, well Asimov had spaceships where the calculations were run on slide-rules.

          I was able to adjust to the archaic science. What really bothered me about Asimov were the flat as a board characters. But this is totally off topic.

                  One thing I hate about the Word spellchecker is that when you ask him to ignore a word, he doesn't ignore it.

                              a great problem with word for me is that averytime I write al-, it corrects it to al.-, for al. is a shortcut from aleja, alley... it is really annoying for someone who is writing al- in arabic words and names 30 times in a page.

                                You should be able to delete that substitution from the AutoCorrect list.
