...at least my version of it. It knows Clippy's grammar is wrong, which leads me to wonder how they made the algorithm for it. Pretty cool programming. The best I ever did for a QB WP is to find commonly mistyped words and then by alphabetical match. I've seen the name of the guy who developed some algorithm that spell-check systems are based on. Something about the deviation number assigned to each letter but I can't say I understood it very well when I looked it over. At least not well enough to try and incorporate it my WP.
