Memo to Microsoft

ADVERTISEMENTS

It's great to be back at Prawfs.  I'll take this opportunity for access to a substantial public forum to make a couple of friendly points to the good folks in charge of the Microsoft Word Spell Checker:  1) "Thurgood" is actually a word, the first name of a well known American, so no need to flag it as an error, and 2) it is not a misspelling of the word "Thurmond". 

I am a little surprised that at this late date in American history and Microsoft Word (I have Office 2007) the name of the Senator made it into the database, but not that of the great Justice.  Or do I only think that Justice Marshall was at least an equally prominent historical figure as Senator Thurmond because I am a lawyer?
