I was starting a story, I came across the word 'holyman'
It said that it was not the correct spelling...
Below is the Apparent Correct spelling!

To an existent, I have to agree

iConcur.

By the way, remember to use Learn Spelling…

…

…

Not you, the spellchecker, it's that little thing in the ctrl-click menu that says "Learn Spelling", it's next to "Ignore Spelling"…

…

…

That was awkward… :?

The question is, how many of those 100 actually make any sense?

Yes, Colicedus, he got the joke, hence his concurrence. Anyway, what spellcheck program was that? I'm surprised it didn't just split it into two words.

Er, actually it's a system-wide spellchecker incorporated into all Cocoa text boxes or something similar.

I am surprised that it didn't suggest holy-man though, that's what it usually does.

That's pretty good... If you made a better screenshot, I bet you could get that posted on Digg.

When words are rare they have more weight.
