But the point is that the dictionary with PMMail does not contain "punctuate." IMHO, someone who would choose
and use the word "punctate" would not likely need his/her spelling checked that badly, but its presence will
allow a misspelling of the more common word to escape notice.
If the guys were to feed in the entire Oxford Dictionary, I doubt that we would be able to find a REAL
spelling error in an e-mail the size of a novel!
Have a good weekend.
