Microsoft Word doesn't recognize the word whoredoms. So what does it suggest instead? Wholesome.

I had to type "whoredoms" in the middle of my geology paper just to see if it worked.

The spellcheckers on Macs suggest Arrowroot for my last name (Iriarte). Only Macs, though. I forget what PCs recommend.

Word 2002 offers up Irate, Irritate and Irrigate, Icarus.

When I worked for Corel, we once got a call from a customer that pointed out the the first suggestion for when you misspell judgment is 'Goddamned'.

I wrote a story in which I mentioned some people who had piled up faggots (alternative spelling of fagots, a bundle of sticks) and set them on fire  in a hurry, I hit the Word Perfect grammar and spell checker and then made a print out.  Needless to say, the results made me seem like a confirmed homophobe.

I'm pretty sure he was putting them out, thus he "jumped up and down on top of the pile of smouldering homosexuals."

That doesn't necessarily sound homophobic.
