Mathematical spellcheck fail

Posted by Dave Richeson on

I love my Macs, so it pains me to post this.

All three of my Macs think that “Pythagoras” is a misspelling. That fact doesn’t bother me—there are a lot of proper nouns missing from the spellcheck dictionary. What hurts is that the spellchecker suggests Pythagorus as a correction. See screenshot below.

C’mon Apple! You’re letting me down.

    disappointing yes, but not as bad as Microsoft . Their spell checker recommended Osama for Obama throughout the primay campaign last year. I switched to Mac then, so I don’t know if the error continues.
