that's awesome. sounds like spell check needs an extra-vigilant, prepubescent setting for the time of the year when stories about the national spelling be comes around.

As an aside, is referring to someone as Kim when their name is actually Yim actually a misspelling? Isn't it more like racism?

I'd really like to point that out.
