Usernames and spellcheck can turn up some hilarious "replace with?" suggestions.

For example my username xocats ...
the first replace with suggestion is scats.
Our TCS administrator DawnofSierra = Denver's
Our mentor flisssweetpea = flyswatter.


If you dare....
spellcheck your username and share spell check's replacement suggestion.
What will it be?

Try them in different places around the world too - regional variations in spellcheckers make for interesting reading! English and Americans same language????

UK English spellchecker

xocats = oxcarts (sorry Lei
)
Dawnofsierra & flisssweetpea = UK English couldn't even come up with a suggestion for these

Well, she came up as buts which I guess is good for a cat because she sometimes when I tell her something important, buts she doesn't get it.


I am glad it didn't come up butts...

For mine it simply suggests a space between gem and lady.

Did get bobcats for xocats if you want to give up oxcarts.

Those are funny!
My cousin and I used to send each other 'spellcheck emails' where we would deliberately misspell words and then use spellcheck to correct them and see if the other could figure it out. Kind of like a code language. We're silly girls.

DarkMavis just comes up as Dark Avis. Yeah, that makes a whole lotta sense now!
