I completely understood what he said.

Oh that was GREAT. I'd have had to practice that for weeks on end...

LOL.... Apparently, Shan's English Prof, showed it in class and no one thought it was funny but her. She showed it to me and I cracked up.

I guess some people take spell checkers too seriously?

My son has a form of dyslexia called dyseidesia that prevents him from being able to spell because he can't visualize the word. He can only spell phonetically. We didn't know he had it until last year (at age 12), but before that, he used to drive his teachers nuts because he'd write entire essays phonetically. One teacher, in second grade, got very frustrated with him and he told her "I don't care about spelling! I'll just use the spell-checker!"

I was mortified because he'd paraphrased me. I'd told him previously to do the best he could with spelling, but not to get upset or frustrated with it because some people just weren't good spellers and there was always spell-checker. :oops:

I don't think the average "fresh out of high school" college student is capable of recognizing how incredibly clever and ironic that was. His word choices were perfect and I bet that entire monologue printed out without a single grammar or spelling highlight on it. Pure genius, IMO.

Oh I doubt that. After all, I rather doubt that Word would much care for "assmates" unless it was broken up... and "clit" may not get into many standard spelling lists.
:doh:

My version of Word doesn't object to ass mates or clits
