Fun with Spell Check
Posted: Mon Aug 04, 2003 9:24 pm
Open MSWord. type in someone's last name. Do not capitalize it. Click on tools and spelling/grammer. (The procedure may vary by version of Word)
Here's some results from names picked from the phone book:
moser: miser, mouser
nagle: angel
kepler: killer, yelper
This works best with shorter, slightly unusual names. Real long names probably won't find a match.
I had a lot of fun with this at work. Sometimes spell check gives a word that actually fits a person. It may take a little effort and patience. Results will vary.
Have fun.
