I run in to that issue when my name gets changed to "Cory

About three decades ago, I designed a spell
checking program with
heuristically developed lexicon.
'course when you switch to another set of mnemonics that you haven't used
before, it would call your attention to each.
I have no problem with a machien claleing attention to a possible error
(in this case, that it can't find the word in its dictionary). I do have
a problem if it chaged 'LDA' into 'Lad', 'muClk' into
'mulch' and so on
without telling me.
