Cuss-checker

offense

So I'm back from fishing, and I've just upgraded my email program. Eudora rocks! And its full functionality is free if you can tolerate a small and only mildly annoying advertisement window on your desktop whenever you read or send email. I've always appreciated the built-in spellcheck, but now Eudora tells me when she (I don't know why, but I've always imagined Eudora is a she)...when she thinks I may be talking a bit too dirty. Well, one thing is clear: if she thinks one little four-letter word is highly likely to be found offensive, Eudora has obviously never met Nalini.

You can turn that stupid shit off with the little red chili peppers thingie in the Preferences section.

You can even configure it to only warn you if you get really fucking offensive instead of mildly offensive with three levels of chili peppers.

PS Eudora Walty, whom the program is named for, was female. Think she wrote the book our parents used to learn to write letters in school or something like that...
