Going ogling

The spellcheck on my copy of Microsoft Word doesn't like Google. It makes several suggestions for changing it, my favourite of which is Go ogle. Similarly it suggests that "Googling" is to "Go ogling". In fact going ogling is what you're actually doing when you're Googling for images with the safe search function off.

My previous all time favourite spellcheck suggestion was in a document that contained the phrase Annus Horribilis. The suggested change was to Anus Hairballs. This was some time ago and it unfortunately won't do this any more.

Another good one is our e-mail spellcheck's reaction to "creatives". It prefers "creamies".

It also suggests that "creds" are "cruds", "crudest" or "cruddiest".
