WTH Does Obama's Name Continue To Get Flagged By The DU Spell Check?
Edited on Mon Oct-06-08 12:57 PM by stopbush
I mean, really. Why does the name Obama get red-lined when one posts at DU? Why???? You'd think his name would have been added o the DU dictionary a long time ago.

And we talk about the Rs pushing the meme that Obama is weird or different. Shit.

1. Mozilla Firefox browser spell checks in the Message text box.
but not in the Subject line text box.

2. Actually, I think the spell check is built into your browser
Proper names often show up as 'error's; not just Obama, but also Cheney.

4. Are you using Firefox?
If so, that's giving you the red line, not DU. Right-click on "Obama" and select "add to dictionary" ... the line will go away. :-)

6. It's a vast, right wing conspiracy
This goes all the way to the top of the browser companies.
