I have a complaint.

[LuckyCharms]

When I accidently type "olf" instead of "old", spell check on DU gives me the corrective choices of "of", "elf" and "golf".

It doesn't give me the choice of "old".

I mean c'mon, I know the administrators are super busy, but how am I supposed to function in an environment like that?

[TwilightZone]

1. That's probably your browser and not DU.

Does DU even include spell-check?

[LuckyCharms]

3. Well, who is in charge of my browser then?

I need to talk to them.

I can't be living like this.

[TwilightZone]

6. Hmm, I think that's, well...you?

Take charge! Tell your browser who's boss!

It shouldn't be treating you like that.

[LuckyCharms]

7. I'm going to have a stern talk with myself then.

[TwilightZone]

10. Sounds like a plan.

Try to be understanding. Perhaps this was just an oversight.

[LuckyCharms]

12. No more of this "understanding" stuff...

I'm so sick of my shit, I'm going to give myself the business.

[NNadir]

24. When I do that, as I often do, my wife expresses concern for my sanity.

[Clash City Rocker]

2. I'm getting too elf for that stuff

[rzemanfl]

5. Do you golf? Where do elves get clubs?

[JoseBalow]

22. The snack aisle

[rzemanfl]

23. But of course, that's where they'd be.

[LuckyCharms]

9. Me two, Clash. Me to.

[Easterncedar]

4. Not DU

Check your device settings.

[LuckyCharms]

8. That's another problem I need to talk to the admins about.

I can't find my devices.

[TwilightZone]

11. One can't be left to one's own devices...

if one can't find one's own devices.

[LuckyCharms]

15. I have a confession...

I really don't know what a "device" is.

I've never been taught, so I've been kind of faking it and nodding my head whenever I hear that word.

[Easterncedar]

21. I sure shouldn't!

[BOSSHOG]

13. It's the result of a very powerful senior citizen lobby

We don’t want anybody but us typing OLD. You’ve been warned.

[LuckyCharms]

14. I understand. I'm very sorry.

[Harker]

16. You'll finger it out. n/t

[LuckyCharms]

17. I have a response to this!

But it's not allowed here.

Hi Harker.

[Harker]

18. Hi, Lucky!

Glad you seem to be your golf self.

[LuckyCharms]

19. Haha!

I'm sort of my old self. Problem is, I wasn't that great to begin with!

Nice to see you.

[Harker]

20. Likewise, Lucky.

I'm hoping to be my elf self soon!

You're a treat.

[Dear_Prudence]

25. We need spell-check decoder rings!

DU folks will send out the weird stuff spell-check generates, then we will use our rings to decode the messages. (I am guessing many of us are elf enough to remember those rings.)

[True Dough]

26. What does spell check show

when you type orsehole?

[LuckyCharms]

27. That...

is fucking funny!



You win this one.

[Scrivener7]

28. "Elf" works better in most cases than "old" anyway.

"As tough as elf boots!"

"That elf gang of mine."

"Dirty elf man."

"Elf habits die hard."

"The elf ball and chain."

There's really no comparison, in my opinion.

[Ptah]

29. I regret to imform you,

your complaint in not compliant.

[LudwigPastorius]

30. "It doesn't give me the choice of "old".

I believe that is called A.I. - Artificial Intransigence
