I've yet to meet one that coped with "liaise" , it insists that I =
should
drop 'u' from certain 'ou' combinations, and forgets to double up some
consonants after vowels. It makes checking my sons' homework a real =
bind,
when they run the spellchecker and then I come along and tell them its =
still
wrong.
