A couple of short decades ago, when the first (commercial) word processors were starting to show up, a company I was associated with was submitting a proposal to do research for a nuclear facility. They used a word processor for the first time, figuring it out as they went. At the last minute, the manager figured out how to activate the "spell check" option, ran it, and then printed out the proposal, bound it, and delivered it with about two minutes to spare. Too bad. The word "nuclear" was not in the speller dictionary and every single occurrence was changed to "unclear". Arg!

The spell check probably would have kept "nuculear" though. Isn't that what a lot of people say instead of nuclear? LOL
