You can’t blame the spellchecker

March 27th, 2007 Posted in Mundane musings

I received an unusual email at work. The content was normal enough (drivel, but par for the course) but it closed with “Sorry for any incontinence this may cause.”

Incontinence? I had to comment on this when I replied and the author was soon on the phone to apologise and try to blame Lotus Notes’s spelling checker.

Nice try, but let’s face it – you’d failed to spell “inconvenience” and, worse still, when offered a choice of real words you chose “incontinence” as the correct one for the context.

Hehehe.

    haha, sounds like something I’d do when rushing through the maze of words underlined in red. :)

    Lionel: You mean you use a spellchecker?! :-)
