While typing up a Marketplace ad, I typed "hypaspist". Spell-check helpfully suggested "hypnotherapist". Nice try!  It has the usual problems with "wargame". |

Oh, and "hoplites" are "shoplifters". |

So that is where the Greeks get the gifts of which we are to be aware. |

Hmmm. Interesting tactical possibilities. Get the hypnotherapists to make the enemy act like chickens while the shoplifters loot their village. |

I one time typed Pontic, and it suggested the name of a local guy who had brutally murdered his girlfriend. I would have at least expected Pontiac. |

Obviously a system developed by the under educated. |

Or better yet when it tell you that you've misspelled plurals. |

Latest: "Zouaves" become "Suaveness". Film at 11:00. |

Try telling SIRI to play "Gangnam Style" on your iPhone – and see what you get – we got "I don't see condom style in your playlist, would you like me to search the web for it?" Thank you SIRI, but NO!! |

A dyslectic friend wrote a text about Anticimex, a swedish pest control company, and extra-nordic (as in the nordic countries, 'utomnordiska', in swedish) bugs. It ended up as a very weird piece having something to do with anti-Semitic extraterrestrial ('utomjordiska') bugs. |

I think I blew up Spell Check with "cuirassiers". It suggested "weirstrasse", whatever the heck that is. |

I've had no trouble at all with this sort of thing until I started using a Kindle Fire. The arrogance of its predictive text in assuming it knows what I mean better than I do is more than a little annoying. |
