I have a complaint. [View all]

When I accidently type "olf" instead of "old", spell check on DU gives me the corrective choices of "of", "elf" and "golf".

It doesn't give me the choice of "old".

I mean c'mon, I know the administrators are super busy, but how am I supposed to function in an environment like that?
