Having just spent the last two days arguing with Word's spell-checker which -- for some strange reason -- doesn't realise that draggle or scruffling are perfectly good words (I mean ... just because I invented them), and is an utter ignoramus when it comes to Middle-Eastern geography (Basra, fer fuck's sake ... don't you watch the news, infernal machine?), and only has UK English and US English with no bloody Scots (ya scunner!), and worst of all -- worst of all!
