Since Barack Obama is the President-elect, I say it's time Microsoft fixed its spell-check.

I'm guessing people know what I'm talking about.

1. Yes, I do know... and DU should too!

Obama... Obama's... you know;)

2. That has been driving me nuts for months

I wrote a comment on their website about it. I can understand that the 2003 version would not recognize his name, but I discovered recently that Office 2007 still had it as a spelling error and wanted to correct it to Osama. Now that he's the president-elect hopefully they will recognize his name in the next edition.

3. Cant you just add his name to your database? nt

8. Yes, but that's not the point.

I'm probably being too sensitive about it, but it's pretty tacky that the suggested correction is "Osama"

5. When it appears as an error just right click your mouse...

And click "Add to Dictionary"

6. Microsoft added Obama to many of its checkers months ago
