Spelling Checker. Can no longer abide to label it a spell-checker. Am not a freaking wizard here. No newt's tails or skunk's feet can be found in my prose, no matter how much it shifts into the indigo hue.
Further, have no intention of picking someone else's nose. Even for an evil god, some things are simply too gauche.
On an unrelated note (*gasp!*), is it wrong for someone to attempt mimicking the accent of a foreign tongue? Long away and far away, a shipmate berated me for trying to sound "Too much" like a local. On most of the islands, was asked if I was German. Either they were reacting to the long blonde hair (Oh, COME ON! Blonde is perfectly cromulent!(Okay, as a man I have blond hair, but to rob women of their own adjective is simply wrong)) or that maybe I speak Spanish with a German accent. Since I burned their villages for insulting my Slavic heritage, we shall never know.
Similar-wise, interestingly, there is speaking a language perfectly, and then there is speaking it like a real person does. In Russia, people were puzzled why I would wish to know if an incorrect phrase was a native idiom or a beginner's mistake. Sometime the "to be a better spy" retort got a laugh. Not all ways....

Reason: did not realise that hair colour had different suffixes
