My Kingdom for Spellcheck
If I haven't mentioned it, my dayjob involves writing software that helps high school kids get into college. During the testing just yesterday, this little exchange occurred:
"Once more into the breech!"
"Once more into the pants?"
"......what?"
"You spelled breach wrong. Breech, breeches...I couldn't resist the pants joke."
"Oh. I swear I thought you were making a completely different commentary on the value of getting into college."
Full disclosure - I'm actually the one that spelled breech wrong :). My bad.
