fun with spellcheckers

I was consuming bandwidth this morning reading a university web developer list I subscribe to, when I came across this response to a question.

*We* are perfectly fine. It’s those nincompoops in Marketing that are the problem. 🙂

(who is amused to find “nincompoops” passes the Gmail spellcheck, but neither “gmail” nor “spellcheck” do)

While making this post, I went and checked. nincompoops does pass gmail’s spellcheck, but so does gmail and spellcheck. It’s still funny.
