I thought this could be a fun thread.... Whenever I do an Update, I type it all up in Word first. Naturally, Spell Check gets a little confused with some of the TVCH names it comes across, and gives me "suggestions" on what I should change that spelling to. List your own, or list some you come across. Lets just amuse ourselves. From the Update I posted today: Urgrace = Upgrade, Ugric, Bugrake (what the heck is a bugrake, and how does spellcheck get that out of Urgrace?) Hope you didn't mind me using your name Gracie! Most of the other names I had in the Update, Spell Check just gave up on and said "no suggestions listed." That, or it just thought I didn't space between two words, and it tried to fix it for me. It thinks I should correct the spelling of my screen name to be: Wham, Whom, Whoa, Whammy.

I have no idea why "conenose" or "kinkajous" would be preferable to "konamouse" but Word seems to think so. 'squeek' (which is spelled this way on purpose!)

Hmmm... Karuuna should apparently be either Koruna or Karenna. I kind of like Karenna. But I'm not sure I know what either one means. Now I gotta go find a dictionary!

Word spellcheck wants redstar to be redstart:
American Redstart Setophaga ruticilla (Linnaeus) Range Breeds from southeastern Alaska, the southern Mackenzie Valley, central Manitoba, central Quebec, and Newfoundland, south to Alabama, northern Utah and northeastern Oregon. Winters from Mexico to northern South America and in the West Indies. Of all our garden birds, perhaps none is more strikingly beautiful than the male redstart. His brilliant colours of shining black, pure white and flaming orange-red, so charmingly displayed as he whirls about with tail widely fanned in pursuit of small insects, immediately capture one's attention. He is one of the most active and animated warblers, a restless creature, constantly in motion as though rushing to finish whatever needs to be done. These birds feed on insects, usually caught by flycatching, sometimes by hovering to pick prey from leaves. This is a very active species. The tail is often held partly fanned out. The song is a series of musical see notes. The call is a soft chip.
