spell-check

I just realized that Microsoft Word Spell-check Auto-correct has made a fool of me. Apparently there is some “backwards-ass British spelling pack” installed on the computer at work that auto-corrects a bunch of words to the British spelling.

Why all the extra vowels?? A ‘y’ instead of ‘i’? Seriously?
I could tolerate these ridiculous spellings on signs and such since I’m in their country and all... but now they’ve screwed with what I write. The automatic capitalization I can deal with… but I think it’s a downright nasty trick to switch the words around as I write them…
I’m now convinced… spell check is the devil. Pick up a dictionary kids! If you don’t know how to spell it, look it up…
This is uncool.
I’ve been duped.
