    Edit: Ahaa, turns out it was the auto correct that came up with that typo, and I didn't catch it before hitting post. I noticed when I went back in to fix, it was trying to suggest it yet again.
    Weird! Trooly. Can't find such a word/spelling in any dictionary I have access to. How did your auto-correct ever come up with it? Does it just make sh** up?

    Spellcheck can defiantly be tricky. At times my attention to its foibles makes me loose my train of thought. I start free associating, as I am now.

    Defiantly or definitely?

    Or both?

    If you type in odd words frequently and don't correct them the spell checker assumes they are some kind of technical term and adds them to the dictionary.

    Isn't Trooly Scrumptious the name of Mr. Potts' girlfriend?

    "...so what the he’ll, let’s do it with spelling. "
