When I google 'Chickollage', it asks me - 'Did you mean: chocolate ' Well, no, I didn't - but now that you mention it, a Caramello Koala or a Freddo Frog would be lovely. Thanks. Oh the power of suggestion! But Google does bring up seven entries linking to my two blogs: this one, chickollage and Write on Track and NOTHING ELSE!. Woo hoo! I've coined a word! Google's attempts to interpret Chickollage as chocolate reminds me of the time a decade or so ago when I was typing up information about Romeo and Juliet. Microsoft Word's spell checker was a lot less sophisticated then - and it questioned the use of the name Capulet. It's suggestion - copulate. So of course, after that, I had to nickname the characters Lord and Lady Copulate. Of course, that suggestion doesn't happen anymore. I have tried it since and the spellchecker doesn't even question it. But imagine if I'd blindly accepted the spellchecker's suggestions and all the theatre programs had been printed that way! |
