Words That The Spell Check Does Not Recognize But Should
Dildo for instance,as in Dildo Reilly. And why does it insist that internet should be spelled with all capital letters,or capitalized? I see that Internets is the fourth replacement choice offered. What sort of dunce would think that Internets was a more correct usage than internet?

But, what is the deal with 'INTERNET'?

6. Strange, but the DU spell check stopped working for me when the...
...DU webpage was limited by the administrators during the election. Also, when I post a message now, I have to click everytime to get the message to display, from that bar that appears at the top of the blank screen which says "click here if message display does not reappear". Also, when I take DU polls now, the post comes up for me to click to confirm my vote and when I hit click the screen goes blank and I have to "X" out. Anyone else having these kinds of problems here on DU?

7. I saw one years ago I'll never forget
...about a silent auction for a T-Shit (instead of a t-shirt).

BTA, a t-shit is a t-shirt that tears up within a week :eyes: <just kidding>

10. Santorum-Sanitarium
Try typing in Rick Santorum. It suggests Sanitarium. Maybe it's working better than we thought.
