Ditto.  Not too proud to admit it, but Word makes my emails and documents
look better than they ever have a right too.  It just seems like the 'add to
dictionary' button is never there when I want it!

Subject: RE: Did we have another name change?

Unfornately, there's people like me that enjoy this feature.  I can sit
there and type away without having to worry about capitalizing.  Maybe
that's the Gen-X in me coming out.  :-) Poor grammar, I know, but nothing
better than having the technology fix my errors.

But I do see your point about "System i"

I prefer to use software that doesn't annoy me and does what I tell it to
do instead of what it thinks I might want.  If I want a letter capitalized
I will capitalize it.  Software is not supposed to control my life or my
spelling.  Let's not blame the english language or its evolution, but
instead let us focus on the problem:  poor software.

It's not the software that's free; it's you.
