One of the Reasons I Don't Like Spell-Checkers.

[tablesaw]

So, one of my coworkers just tried to send out an e-mail. The settings for Outlook causes a spell-checker to run when a message is sent. This time, a misspelling of the word "inconvenience" was flagged. However, the coworker accidentally accepted the first suggestion, and the e-mail was sent before she could change it.

The message was sent out with the final sentence:

Thank you and I apologize in advance if this causes you any incontinence.

AAH! that's great! my spell check just can't seem to get over the fact one of my best friends is named Damien, and is forever trying to change his name to Damn.

Well, I'd say an email that causes incontinence in its readers *deserves* an advance-apology warning.
