Zipform Spell Checking Fail

Zipform DictionaryZipForm Fails Spelling Test.

I like spell checking for catching typos. Even the best of spellers can hit the wrong key accidentally from time to time. I was generating a new contract in Zipform this morning. I decided to try the spell checking feature that I hadn't noticed before and was surprised by the results. A few of the words that were flagged included "I", "a", and "hi". That seemed odd, but I continued checking.

What completely amazed me was when it suggested that "askew" might be the word I wanted when I typed "escrow". This is a spell checker that has clearly never been involved in real estate. 

Anybody else have experience with fun spell checking mistakes?
