The speller in our word processors, email clients etc is definitely useful.. but when
we use SMSlike lingo in our docs, we should be really careful..
For instance, one of my colleagues was sending a congratulatory mail to his female friend when she was blessed with a kid.. this was the original content..
"Congrats.. hows ur kid doing ? blah blah... "
After that, the default spellchecker in his thunderbird mail client kicked in and corrected it to
"Congrats.. hows our kid doing? blah blah... "
Fortunately, my friend noticed the terrible thing he was about to send in time and corrected it manually.. so beware the speller.. :-)

Shucks! If only he had sent that message, this post would have been even better!
