Something familiar about spelling mistake in title

Several decades ago, when Word Perfect and MS Word were both still DOS programs, Word Perfect was failing and needed a gimmick. They produced a "legal spell checker" that was intensively marketed to lawyers, and it found great favor. The legal dictionary saved Word Perfect from oblivion, and it remains in use at large numbers of legal firms.

The only difference ever found between the Word Perfect legal spell checker and the one used in MS Word was that the word "trail" did not appear in the Word Perfect dictionary, and hence that one word would always be tagged as a misspelling.

The "improved" spellchecker was sold to the lawyers who didn't do the word processing, and the wp workers who already knew how to exclude the word in MS Word were not consulted; but "the word" significantly changed the wp industry.

Tiny things sometimes have large effects, even when they're trivial, if the "right people" get the (right or wrong) message.

You are now returned to the program in progress.
