Did you notice that if you turn on your spellchecker, it picks "blog" and "blogging" and underlines it with a red line as a mistake.

Obviously, the terms "blog" and "blogging" is too new to take it place in the dictionaries like the one used by Active Rain. Guys, we have outpaced the dictionary, because this is a key term and, thought, I did not collect any statistical data, I would not be surprised to see it as one of the most often used keywords, if not the most used.

It actually considers "Spellcheck" and "spellchecker" wrong as well.

Isn't it fascinating?

This is simply the sign of times.

It is quick and easy although if machine were perfect we would be done like in Terminator!

Jon, Spell checks are wonderful.  With our world changing so rapidly, I think it would be difficult to get it totally updated.  Thanks for sharing.

That is so funny you blogged about this.  I just noticed that yesterday.  I haven't tried spellcheck on the word blog but I'm sure I will! :)

Thank you for comments. I am not complaining, I was just fascinated by the fact that new things that have not yet even made into dictionaries, are so important part of our lives and business.
