If we must have a machine to tell us how to spell, could we at least make sure that the machine spells English properly rather than in the dreadful hybrid way that most people round here seem to use?

Yes. I was originally
osstamps and the FT spell checker decided it needed the obligatory American "z" in there somewhere.
Lets play spot the words below Mr Gates has NOT mangled yet:
Realize. Harmonize. Surprize. Prioritize. Experize. Harmonize. *******ize.
And don't get me started on gray, lite, color, catalog, jewelry, check, center, etc.
And who decided that March 5 was somehow 3/5/03 confusing the rest of the world who use the far more sensible styling 5/3/03. (As do all US Govt customs and immigration forms. Coff.)
Bill Gates will wake up one morning and decide
YOT looks leaner than Yacht.
