Wanted: Spell Check for Scientists!

I'm a terrible speller. Over the years, I've gotten by thanks to MS Word's speck check feature. Without it, you'd think everything I've written had been done by a scientist with a few letters in the wrong place on her keyboard (Or a disturbingly smart monkey. Take your pick). Still, I've got a lot of beefs with the spell check function. For starters, it makes me a worse speller than I already am. Some misspelled words just get red squiggles under them to show me they're wrong. Others it recognizes and changes automatically so I don't even know I didn't spell them right in the first place. And don't even get me started on when it changes words you don't want it to because it thinks you're trying to type something else. Finally, and here's my biggest beef, the spell check feature doesn't keep pace with scientific discovery, or in some cases even pay attention to 50-year-old scientific terminology. I'll write something for my work, and almost every other word will have the dreaded red squiggles under it, even though spelled correctly. Just take a look at this excerpt from something I wrote this morning. Seriously, how am I supposed to work like this:

Movin' on up!

Say goodbye to police tape and 2-hour nightmare commutes. We're moving up and out! Ryan and I found out today that we got the rental house we had applied for. At bad traffic times, this will knock as much as an hour and a half off my commute. In the absolute worst traffic, it will soon only take me 30 minutes to get home. Most days it will take around 15 to 20. It's in a great residential neighboorhod with lots of nearby fun. There are a whole handfull of parks and ball fields just a stroll away. There's a track a few blocks away that I can jog to. There are restaurants and coffee shops and a brew pub just a short stroll in the other direction. And there's even a 12-hole disc golf course just a 5 minute's walk away. We have a yard! Front and back. Room for a BBQ grill and some outdoor furniture and a few disc golf baskets. It's a small house (Only 850 sq ft) but it has a garage for storage, a mud room, and hardwood floors. Move in isn't until November 23rd. I can hardly wait!

This is how close we are to the disc golf course.

We have the corner lot with a front yard, and an even bigger back yard.
