"From: Trevor - PM
I remember writing something or other about the Ford Mondeo when it first came out and my spellchecker gave me the option of 'mundane'. Hmmmm....it obviously knew something."

Ha ha! I'll say. We just sold ours (well, it's a Contour over here, but the same car) and I'll vouch for "mundane".



I took some anthropology classes in college and spent a long time wrestling with all the variations of "Australopithecus" and its accompanying species names. There were NO scientific or anthropological terms in my spell-checker at all when I started and I did a lot of meticulous self-checking and adding to finally get the thing the "education" I needed it to have (luckily, I'm a good speller by nature, most of the time, so I don't have to depend on it much).
