I've seen some weird stuff out of spell check myself.

Hi Friends,

As many of you know, I like pointing out Spell Check errors. Not only is it
a way to stress the importance of using this valuable but flawed tool with a
grain of salt, but it can be amusing.

 

Here is an example of how Spell Check confuses verb forms. I wrote:

Block quote

The audience clapped after each song, making Abigail feel good and
self-conscious all at once.

Block quote end

 

Spell Check wanted:

Block quote

The audience clapped after each song, making Abigail feels good and
self-conscious all at once.

Block quote end

 

"Abigail feels" would be just fine, if it weren't for that pesky "making!"

Cheers and enjoy your Memorial Day weekend,

Donna
