Can’t somebody at Microsoft fix stupid stuff like this in Word’s spellcheck?
I wrote: “and it’s 9:30 my time.”
Spellcheck recommended “its my time.”
And don’t anyone even think of starting a discussuion about content over form.

Hello Microsoft! Why is Word Spell Checker Illiterate?

Howabout context over content?
Seriously… did the spellcheck recommend excluding the “9:30” as well?
Micro$oft will fix it, shortly after Mozilla, Sun, or Google release a free solution.
I often laugh at the dumbass mistakes in spellcheck. but when we get to really fundamental rules of the language, like when to use possessives, I find it really disheartening that Microsoft doesn’t have more pride in its products. If they’re that sloppy with English, how can we trust them with Internet security, or our most important documents?
And I laugh every time that Blogger or Typepad tells me that blog and blogger is not a word. If even they don’t know it’s a word, we communicators are in dire trouble!
In reply to : B.L. Ochman ….
You’ve hit the nail on the head! If ANYONE still has spellcheck actually still turned “ON” after all these years, basically all they are doing is wasting their valuable time finding out that they are just as intelligent as they once thought they were in the first place.
