So, I was writing in my diary today, as you do, and I ask myself why on Earth does Word not recognize “daren’t” as a word? I regularly throw it obscure drug and botany names and it doesn’t blink. Is “daren’t” really less understood than “aconitine”?

Please provide your own spellcheck blunders and/or relentlessly make fun of me. Thank you.

That's a high quality avatar right there.
So are you like the Fraiser character on Cheers? I’m sure you’re a hoot at the pub, OP.

Word corrects god to God out of respect for the dude I guess.

The problem is god allowed anime, and does not deserve respect

here's a fun game: you put your favorite sex things into your computer/phone and if it says it's a word that means it likes it and if it says it's not that means it doesn't. so you do that a few times and then you can imagine what kind of sex things you could consensually do to your computer/phone if it was like, so equipped to do that

I refuse to let spellcheck make me use the American spelling of judgement.

I tried to type mofos today, because that is a word in my vernacular, and spellchecker thought I wanted 'morose'.

3 times I had to correct it. Motherfucker I just don't want to have to type motherfucker every time. Mofo. Mofo.

Goddamnit.

No no, it's phonetic. Used when saying "sorry I forgot to pay daren't"

I am very possibly Frasier, although I try not to speak with anything but my natural northern New England accent. I blame learning my vocabulary largely from books. And I would thank all of you for continuing the thread I made while slightly inebriated.

I don't like how autocorrect insists that god should be capitalized and I always have to go back and make it lower case.

I wish there was a spellcheck for real life. Last night when I was scrawling my unhinged ravings on the wall of my cell with my own poo poo, I spelled “warden” “warnden” and now the whole pod is mocking me
