We all know cat litter is radioactive, but cat food?

Whenever I see this cat food in a store:

 

 

this is what I imagine:

 

 

Just saying.

Chaiimanlle

Well, either I have taught my spellchecker something really, really wrong and then forgotten about it, or there is something wrong with the spellchecker itself.

I was typing in Pages, on Mac OSX 10.5.8, and this red underline popped up:

I clicked on it to see what suggestions the spellchecker offered, assuming that it was just prejudiced against the extra "l" and "e," and would prefer "chainmail." But noooo....

So, now I was really curious, and experimentally accepted the correction:

and tried to look it up:

and got nothing.

The only explanation I can think of is that I must have mistyped "chainmaille" as "chaiimanlle" and then told the spellchecker to "learn" it before I realized it was a misspelling. But I have trouble imagining that I would make that error-- to transpose the letters "nmai" as "iman" would be pretty extreme even for my extra-fast-hunt-and-peck typing style. And the very act of teaching new words to the spellchecker is something I can't remember ever doing.

Maybe John did it...
