Any others out there?

Just one of the many, many threads like that there. They also have the Code Snippet of the Day (look for the threads with [CodeSOD] )

My word has a habit of telling me it cannot find certain dictionaries.

About half way througha spell check I get messages like

Error - Cannot find the dll for Dutch.

I click OK and it keeps going....

Those are great.

I am just hoping I DON'T get any of the ones discussed in the practical joke thread!
