I guess spell-checking can be a real help when you're learning a language
with lots of words (or the newest version of the language).
How does MS-Office handle affixes and stem changes? What about special
characters as part of words and distinct upper and lower case letters?
(Although I suppose you at least don't have the latter in your conlang)
BTW what's up with YUM? I've been getting an error lately. Did I miss a
notification?
