Malcolm, Sorry, if you took it the wrong way. I'm not meaning to denigrate anything, least of all the spell checker. I'm just trying to understand why the checker suggests " u necessary" as a replacement word. To the best of my knowledge, " u necessary" is not a word. The OpenOffice.org spell checker suggests " u necessary" as a replacement for the mispelling " unecessary" for unnecessary. IMO this is not a valid replacement suggestion. Can you clarify this for me?
