Anyone else ever notice that the Mozilla Thunderbird spellchecker
doesn't want you to type the word "internet" unless it has an upper case
"I" at the beginning? What's that about, and who's behind it? Also, the
word "spellchecker" is not allowed, but "spell checker" is fine. Does
your "spell" need to be examined for accuracy? Or could it be that you
really need a "spellingchecker" to check your spelling. No, that's
unacceptable, too, according to the Mozilla software. What's their real
agenda? I wonder...
Since spellchecks never get it right for our ambiguous language I don't use them.
