Faldo is right. I regularly insert words into the "private dictionary" function on this old coal-fired steam-driven computer of mine. One of my recurrent nightmares is that something will happen to this machine which will cause that file to be lost and I will have to rebuild a "private dictionary" from scratch. So I occasionally find the file (it is way down there in a hidden part of the hard drive) and copy it to a disk as a sort of insurance policy against disaster.

You know, in...what--99% of all other boards on the internet?...that would be considered weird.


You could also send a copy of it to your computer at the courthouse, and use it to continue to wow the attorneys.

I once had the goofy idea that someone could make a few dollars by preparing "private dictionary" files for specific professions. I thought of this because I had to load so many legal terms and so many theological terms (and Biblical names) into my own. If one could pick up an inexpensive file which included every word or phrase in Black's Law Dictionary or another which contained all of the words and phrases in, say, a Bible dictionary and a dictionary of theological terms, it would save the recipient a lot of time. That's not weird. That's being practical. (He muttered as they carried him away ...)

There does exist a medical spellcheck program somewhere out there. There are probably legal ones as well.

In both legal and clerical terms I think FS might count himself a proofreader!
