One day in an environmental science class we all must have been
very board because the question of the longest English word came
up. Of course antidisestablishmentarianism was suggested as the
longest word. For some reason I decided to write that down in my
braille 'n speak. I wasn't sure I could spell it correctly,
though, so I spellchecked it. Oopse! My braille 'n speak really
did not like that. It basically had some kind of fit and made a
click hum noise, dumped me in the help file, and deleted and
barfed up some junk in the file I was writing. At least that is
what I think I remember it doing. It really was extremely weird
and I never experienced anything else like it in all the time I
had that braille 'n speak. It was the 640 model, but I have no
idea what software revision. It just proves that either we must
be careful what we spellcheck, or better yet, programers should
not think that they can safely put some limit on the length of
word that a person might spellcheck. <smile
