Surely (I hope) software that has predictive text or a spell checker with autonomous substitution power must have the option of turning it (or them) off! And/or entering a word or name one knows into the dictionary used by the text or spell checker. I certainly would not tolerate software that took basic editorial choices out of my hands as the user! And whether or not I were stuck with one of those intrusive functions, I would critically proofread what I thought to be the final text before submitting. And I always (well, NEARLY always) use Mudcat's "Preview" choice before posting. Dave Oesterreich
