Wow, the folks at Mediaite don’t know how to spell “indict”.

Can’t believe they don’t have spell check. Even my BROWSER has spell check.

I had spell check on my Atari ST in 1987. =)

If your spell check is thorough, it wouldn't flag 'indite.' Indite is a word. It means to set out in writing.

Indict and indite are homophones - words that sound the same, but are spelled differently and have different meanings. Indict and indite are both legitimate words, and both are verbs, so spell check shouldn't have caught 'indite.'
