WORD blunder...

[Iynx]

One really needs to be careful about writing Latin with an English-oriented word processor. The results can be embarassing. They can also be hilarious.

Some time back I was writing a little on grammar, and I chanced to use the word gerundium. Behind my back WORD changed it to "geranium".

And I let the thing get out. So it goes.

Nice to see you again Iynx.

I started writing a Latin spellchecker once, but I couldn't get the plugin to work. Just another project on the backburner...

Ah, the joy of "adding to dictionary" all these simple words MS Word knows nothing about :roll:
