I love spell-checkers. We recently got one of those Xmas newletters
from a distant cousin containing the following line:

"In October we were back in North Dakota to do some peasant hunting.
The bad weather held off and we were able to come home with a full bag
almost every day."

I'm very grateful his spell-check passed this one :-)
