My Spellchecker Sucks Ass (or maybe I do)

[Liar]

Posting a thread in which I bitched about my own lack of motivation to write, I decided to write.
So I managed to type down the finishing paragraphs of a thing I've been working on since November. Then, since it's nice to do a proofread without too many obvious mistakes drwoning out the small ones, I run a routine spell check in my word processor.


characterless
liquorice
scribbling
drawly
stubbled
orgasmatron
peromoned
slobberine
objectivism
machoism
porno
ungodliest
penetrator
shaman
incubatic
demolishment
motorics
womankind
icky
skidaddle


Those are a few of the words that it didn't understand. Question is, are those words, or am I being far too creative here? When I see it separately like this, "orgasmatron" ain't really in Merriam-Webster, now is it?

Sucking ass is a bad thing?

 

[English Lady]

I like all those words.

Skidaddle is a doosie (dosey/doozie?) *LOL*

 

[carsonshepherd]

I turn off mine. Spellchecker is just Microsoft oppression.

I'd make a comment about "stickin' it to the man", but I think you might misinterpret that.....*ducks & runs*

 

[Kassiana]

To my knowledge, the following are not words:

peromoned
slobberine

because I can't figure out what they're supposed to mean at all. Did you mean "pheromones" and "slobbering"?

And this is not spelled correctly:

skidaddle = skedaddle

Hope that helps.

 

[carsonshepherd]

I wouldn't misinterpret...

I like stickin' it to the man....

drawly
peromoned
slobberine
machoism
incubatic
motorics

These words I do not know, but I'm not looking them up and would try to see how they fit in context if I were reading them in a story.

[carsonshepherd]

is machoism

masochism

or

machismo?

 

[minsue]

is machoism

masochism

or

machismo?

I took it along the same lines as machismo, but now you have me curious.

 

[English Lady]

Liar.... could see a very good challenge comng from that list of words!


And feel free to suck my ass.

 

[Liar]

To my knowledge, the following are not words:

peromoned

Oops, wisspelled in this post...
Pheromoned = sprayed with pheromones

slobberine

The female equivivalent of a slobberer?

And this is not spelled correctly:

skidaddle = skedaddle

Shouldn't it have spotted that then?


Carson, I use it because I suck at spelling. It checks, and spots some of the errors (and many that aren't errors - I decide if it's right)

And mine is not Microsoft. Ms Word wants ti mess with my grammar too, and that's where I draw the line.

I thought it was the doctrine of macho…

licorice does not contain liquor.

drawly is not a word. Do you mean 'he said with a drawl"?

ungodliest is not a word. Try most ungodly.

demolishment is not a word. Try destruction.

 

[Liar]

is machoism

masochism

or

machismo?

People who are macho practice machoism. No? I use it next to feminism, nazism and nihilism. Machismo doesn't rhyme.

I love your words, Liar. Please ignore your 'puter. Who else would I follow and bow to otherwise?

Says liquorice in my dictionary. Oh I see it now, American spelling. Better roll with the punches, then.

I mean "he had a drawly way of speaking".

Note. Check. Edited.

Are companies that tear down buildings called desctruction firms?

:Liqourice is definitely the english spelling...the c way looks weird to me. *L*

demolition firm

Ah that's the word. Thanks girls.

Liar, macho is a Latin American term/concept, a cultural identity. The word is Spanish, therefore machismo. To give it an English ending just doesn't work, and I don't think is proper.

incubatic
motorics

Aside from the ones mentioned already, I didn't understand these.

Is incubatic in the style of an incubator?

You gotta teach your spell-checker, mine tells me if I spell fuckmerunnin right and all kinda stuffs. If you wanna use the FREAKIN words that are not right, which you sometimes want to, you gotta teach it. If you wanna Laff use the voice thingie and have it pronounce back cunt, its funny.

Hi Liar!

here we go:

characterless
this is one you coined, congratulations. Nobody will have any problem knowing what it means. Spellcheck is an ass.

liquorice
As I understand the thing, licorice is the American spelling, liquorice is the Brit one.

scribbling
present participle of the verb to scribble. Legit word; spellcheck has its head up its ass.

drawly
this is one you coined, congratulations. Nobody will have any problem knowing what it means. Spellcheck is an ass.

stubbled
There is no official verb to stubble. You have a bad 'un here. Stubble is a noun. This is one you coined, congratulations. Nobody will have any problem knowing what it means. Spellcheck is an ass.

orgasmatron
this is one you coined, congratulations. Nobody will have any problem knowing what it means. Spellcheck is an ass.

peromoned
As "pheromoned" it is a weird enough coinage to cause reader confusion, maybe. Maybe not. Spell checkers hate the word stockinged as well. Your call. But you should know it isn't a real word, so far.

slobberine
Spell checker is right.

objectivism
Spell checker is uneducated.

machoism
Probably should be "machismo" or even "macho" but people will know what it means all right, in context.

icky
Spell check is uneducated.

skidaddle
Spell check is correct a sixth time, it's "skedaddle."
