[Ken Gargett]

the spellchecker on my first computer always insisted on changing 'cheque', the correct way to spell what our friends from the wrong side of the pond may refer to as a check (as in the kind used to transfer money) into 'tequila'.

no idea why but i loved that spellchecker.

Cab in town had the following slogan emblazoned on the back of its trunk (boot):

I'll try to grab a photo next time I see it.

But every time you create a new word file you have to change the dictionary from US to Aus or UK. It really gets to you after a while.

The human mind can do this, too...

It's perfectly still... the motion is an optical illusion.
