re: Dangers of spellcheck

[Maggie_Secara -at- capgroup -dot- com]

I put things like that in my Auto Correct list (this is in Word) and for
the same reasons. There is never going to be an occasion at work for
"pubic" so if I type it inadvertantly, AutoCorrect just changes it to
"public", just as it changes every instance of "hte" to "the" for me.
Actually, I rely on it a lot, since I have trouble with any word ending in
-tion, for some reason.
