I hate it when Microsoft Word tells me scientific words don't exist.

Um, "phosphodiester" is a word. As is "deoxyribose".

Maybe they're creationists?

1. It doesn't like a lot of legal terms, either.

I just roll my eyes every time the spellcheck chokes on "estoppel." Seriously, Microsoft? :eyes:

[leftyclimber]

2. It's not real keen on the social sciences, either.

Changing computers in the middle of my Master's thesis was a spell-check nightmare.

3. Yeah its a pain in the ass

When I'm editing an SOP or some sort of technical report in Word..I have to hit skip ALL the time....

4. Check out the plugin for the 'speak' you want it to understand

There are plugins for each 'speak' that not only allow for these words, but check their spelling as well.

Good luck!

7. Ooh, where can I get that?

WANT.

[Taverner]

8. I don't know where - exactly

I found the one for my given profession (ComputerSPEAK!) but don't know what it would be in your case...

Sorry

5. You can add words to the dictionary

but make sure they're correctly spelled when you do so. :o

[kentauros]

6. Hell, I hate it when it tells me to replace "there" with "their"

and I'm talking about a place, not a possessive!
