Beware of microsoft outlook spell check

i received an email today from an unhappy customer. though i wasn't responsible for their unhappiness, i still replied as if i was at fault. i signed the email with the over used phrase "sorry for the inconvenience." after i clicked the send button the spell check popped up and indicated inconvenience was spelled wrong. usually, it selects the correct spelling for the word you intend on using, but instead of offering me the correct spelling for inconvenience it selected incontinence. being that my reflex is faster than my brain, i clicked OK on the spell check box and the email was sent before the word could register. neutral

Sorry for the incontinence .

i then thought to myself "WWJD?"

We had a guy here where I work do basically the same thing. I think the exact sentance was "....can you imagine the incontinence it caused me?" Of course he meant inconvenience but he did the exact same thing you did.

He seemed legit. Said it was the Trasero Version. Which is better apparently.
