Am I the only one that finds it funny that mylot is considered misspelled here?

I know it's just a general spell check program, but I do find it funny that the name of the place is considered improper spelling. No wonder so much rampant spelling mistakes and grammatical errors abound. I'm not judging since I don't particularly care to have my own sentence structure all correct and such. Still, so many common words show up as misspelled in a spell check it's hilarious.

*giggle giggle snort snort* Um, yeah, I think it's pretty funny actually. It always amazes me how many things come up as mispelled when you use a spell-checker. For instance, place and person names are always a huge problem. And then there are those times when your spellcheck tries to replace a word with a totally different one that makes no sense in the context. That drives me bonkers! I have a game I play when I'm really bored. I'll write a short story with lots of words mispelled, and then let the spellchecker fix it all. Then I read it to see if it still in any ways means the same thing it did. Yeah, I'm a nerd, I know.

Hi, silvernutbar. Maybe you're right. Others may get used to it for a long time. In myLot, there are so many users coming from different places but all of us use English. The ability of our expressions do exist differences. So the situation you mentioned comes out. To be honest, I always try my best to keep my words and expressions correct. I think the most important thing we should do is to continue striving for keep ourselves in right way and make others understand us. Just my own opinion.:) Have a nice day! ^_^
