Let me explain why I’d rather it doesn’t get bundled into any browser! Autocorrect gets annoying especially when you’re typing the kinds of names that Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, Israelis, and Swahilis have. I don’t make fun of message board posters that I don’t know with bad spelling because they might not speak English as a first language. Also, I believe that we should look out for people with spelling problems because they might be like Schizophrenic serial killer Ted Kaczynski, Nigerian email scammers, or some of the anti-American terrorists who don’t understand English spelling or grammar. I know that I’m sounding too serious, but I’ve taken Criminology and some of the people with mental problems have insane sentence structure or grammar. Plus, I don’t want autocorrect telling me how to spell personal names like Mikaela, Michaela, Mikahla, Christina, Krystina, Kristen, Christin, Veronica, Veronique, Erika, Erica, Sarah, Sara, Hannah, Hanna, Clair, Claire, Natalie, Natalee, Natalia, Katy, Katie, Katee, Katia, Catia, Kathryn, Katherine, Catherine, Caitlyn, Kaitlyn, Kate Lynn, Julie, Julee, Julia, Janine, Janeane, Ashleigh, Ashlee, Ashley, Geoff, Jeff, Matthew, Mathew, Mohammed, Muhammad, Xerxes, Ataxerxes, Nebuchadnezzar, Nebochadrazzer, Montezuma, Moctezuma, Mao Tse-Tung, Mao Ze-Dong, Christos, Christus, Roman names, Pharaoh names, and others. Montezuma and Moctezuma must have been Grandfather and Grandson. Nebuchadnezzar and Nebochadrazzer were related. Romans and Pharaohs have different spellings depending on the translation and rendition that you read them in. Also, I’ve heard that the earlier child proofing software for blocking web sites are almost counterproductive because they can do things like flag the word “breast” in “breast cancer,” “chicken breast,” “breast feeding,” and other examples.
The Grammar Nazi Software would probably drop dead if it had to proofread the Schizophrenia at http://www.timecube.com .
Gene says that he has Schizophrenia and complains about how educated people treat him. Your eyes might hurt from reading his grammar!

It’s probably an invented alphabet and gibberish language by a forger. He probably realized his artwork wasn’t the best and wanted to make his work look like it was from a foreign land in order to sell it. I’ve read a lot of theories. One theory is that it’s by an esoteric, Jewish, heretic, or less popular Christian group that coded their writings so that they wouldn’t be persecuted about 600 years ago.
