yet more proof that spell checkers are not to be relied on:Here's one from my place of employement: Ray's supermarkets. See if you can find what's wrong (read carefully). no photoshopping was done here! http://www.homepage.mac.com/quadrajet/stupid_ad.jpg It gave a lot of customers a good laugh, and the "dinosaurs" in the deli probably needed some of that "special" product after laughing so hard  My economics teacher even brought one of the ads in to see if the class could find what was "wrong" with it, and we wasted a whole class period talking about the consequences associated with that kind of product Artillery Commander/Engineer, 68kMLA
