Well folks in the GAF are smarter than Microsoft Word.

I'm working on my book and had the chance to use "sutler" and the stupid thing don't recognize it.   Google Chrome does though.  I just thought it was funny.   ;D

Del,

Funny and a little sad to my way of thinking.  Just another example of how history is forgotten by "modern" society.

I just found out it don't like ibrik either either and neither does the chrome people.  In all fairness it is a Turkish word, but even here on Great Plains I know of at least two places in town to buy one.

Can you buy Chai Tea on the Plains?  Chai being turkish for tea rather makes "Chai Tea" a repetative redundancy!

Yep, but don't tell the chia tea drinking yuppies that, it will drive them crazier.

I've heard that, I need to read up on how to, but if it was as smart as it thinks it is the dang thing would have known what a sutler is and would know when you use dutch oven in the middle of a sentence you don't need to cap dutch.

Too late. I'm already pretty sure you did a long time ago, but as long as you keep my belly full of good stuff at musters I promise not to whack you upside the head. Besides I was once told tht this is America and people have a right to be crazy here if they want.

Yeah but at least I don't have to explain things to you, one of the kids at work the other day came up and said he finally figured out why I called Rob, the IT guy at work Cuzzin It. ::)

Gotta friend in Brady we've called Cuzzin It since high school. Couple years ago my daughter asked why so he pulled his beard up over his face & put his hat back on. She still didn't get it but everyone over 40 at the bar laughed out loud.

Glen Yesterday I was talking to a couple of folks who were guests at the muster last summer and they said there's a lawer in Broken Bow who could be your twin. Said he looks like you, his expressions were like yours and his voice sounds like you....I said I felt sorry for him ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
BTW they said to tell you thanks. Will never liked meatloaf (the dish not the rock singer) until you showed Leeah how to make it.
