Obama. Thanks for fixing upper case in spell check!

Obama, replace with Ob ama or Ob-ama. WTF? (no, I don't use spell check often, but wtf?)


Edited to add
Obama. Woohoo, now it works! Thanks Skinner!

1. LOL - I thought this was to be an Osama cheapshot n/t

[uppityperson]

3. No, a serious question.

Osama spell checked gives me several choices also, but that is a phonetic spelling of an name in another written language, not like Obama who is a presidential candidate.

Asama Os ama Os-ama Esma

2. Tell me about it.

Pissed me off that the admins have yet to fix this.

[uppityperson]

5. I just emailed them. Pretty wild.

[uppityperson]

12. Try Obama now, should be fixed

[MoonRiver]

4. It does that with proper names a lot.

But one would think that with so much repetition it would learn. :silly:

[uppityperson]

7. obama. Huh, you are right for Obama, catches cap one.

Clinton clinton . Both pass

[MoonRiver]

13. Well, Clintons just have better name recognition I guess,

even within the spell checker universe! :D

6. Because the spell checker is passive-agressive about its hatred of Obama

[enlightenment]

8. Because it's not in your browser's dictionary.

Add it, if it bothers you! (Right click on the underlined word and then select "add to dictionary")

9. Nope, in Du spellchecker.

I have it in my computer's bits.

[enlightenment]

14. Funny - it worked for me . . .

guess you should talk to the DU folk, then - but I doubt it's an intentional omission.

[uppityperson]

15. I did and now it works.

Got a nice note from Skinner too, and asked for this thread to be locked since it works now. I think it just wasn't switched over to include capitalized.

10. Racism, of course.

Every criticism or slight against Obama is racism according to his supporters.

[uppityperson]

11. No. Skinner says it was there for a while, must've missed uppercase.

That is all. Thanks for helping fix this problem in such a civil manner.
