Word's one and only suggestion - 'pompons' !!
So much for my big idea of switching on AutoCorrect and sitting back while it does all the work.  |
Not to make light of your angst and I DO agree with you, but consider the alternative. At least with SpellChecker finds the errors for you and tries to make a correction. I can't tell you how many papers I turned in in college (typed on a typewriter, no less) where the instructor circled spelling errors and took points off the total grade.
Thank goodness I majored in Computer Science and had very few papers to write.
