Re: [ST] RE: Spell Checkers



My daughter had a little electronic spell checking device.  I typed in the
names of motorcycles to see what the device thought I was trying to write.
I don't remember all of the suggestions but I do recall two of them.

When I typed "Suzuki" it was corrected to "suicide"

When I typed "Kawasaki" it was correct to "casualty"
