Title: Never Trust Spellcheck
Post by: triangleforge on December 09, 2009, 01:24:43 PM
Which is more surprising -- that nobody at Ford caught this before adding it to the Fiesta display at the LA Auto Show, or that the domain "Autopsies.com" appears to be unused?

Apostrophe abuse, alas, is never surprising. Its just sad, don't you think?  ;D

I still like the fact that the first suggestion for a misspelled "inconvenience" is incontinence.  So in effect, any time you try to apologize for creating a hassle, you actually apologized for losing your bowels.   [laugh] [laugh]
