Blogger doesn’t know what a ‘Blog’ is???
The devil is in the details, isn’t it? Call me a perfectionist, accuse me of paying to much attention to details but stuff like this just fascinates me.
Here is what happened: I’m writing this blog, on Blogger, which is a service for bloggers, who blog. Still with me?
So I spellcheck my Blog, with the Spellchecker provided to me by Blogger and what happens? The spellchecker doesn’t recognize the word ‘Blog’. It suggests I use ‘Bloc’ instead and for ‘Blogger’ it suggest ‘Blocker’.
It also seem that this Spellchecker has an identity crisis. From now on it wants to be named ‘Splicer’.
So, do you think the owners of Blogger use their own product? Do you think they ever use the word ‘Blog’ or ‘Blogger’? Guess not…

umm,hello? nowhere on your blog or your .com site does it say what fleck is!
i’m thinking this may be intentional and part of the whole ‘in the know’ thing but if not, guys, too much coffee!
