I knew an atty who customized his spell check to accept 'lien' instead of 'lean' in documents.

Then didn't bother to watch what was going on and have a fence described as liening against a tree.

It would be useful if spell-checkers had the ability to easily enable and disable certain parts of their vocabulary. If someone is writing about vehicles, "double axel" is probably a mistake. But if writing about skating, "double axle" would be just as wrong.
