Misadventures with spellcheck

I was looking for help to figure out why a misspelled word was not identified as wrong in Microsoft Word when I found a comment that seemed innocent enough: a blogger complained that she preferred Google's alternate spelling suggestions to those offered by the Microsoft spellchecker.

This generated a conversation suitable for an episode of Spellchecker Gone Wild, relating mishaps that occurred when Microsoft automatically replaced one or two words to the embarrassment of the writer.

If anyone from Microsoft is reading this, I should put in my request. I think you should auto-replace the word manger with manager, since that is almost always the intended word. Except maybe at Christmas!  (Can a replacement be effective just part of the year? LOL.)

Have a great day!
