bad spelers off the world untie!

I'm typing up the notes I've made for my interview into accents and attitudes for my English Language assignment.



How worried should I be that word has changed "alcihol" (a deliberate misspelling for phonetic reference) to "alcohol" automatically? Is it that common a misspelling?

I think Word's spelling corrector works on the basis of common words being one or two letters off the expected, as long as they don't form another acceptable word. Unless you specify them, it doesn't have set words to correct.

You feeling better from last night? *hugs*
