------- Additional comments from [email protected] Wed Feb 18 15:06:02 +0000 2009 ------- I wrote to complain of how the spellchecker insults Christians by failing to capitalize the word, "Bible" while it shows deference to the Koran by insisting it be capitalized. I received a reply to the effect that the word, "Bible" has been degraded by our society by people using it for other common purposes, such as to say, "The Fisherman's Bible" and others. I am not sure how the logic follows that because society has denigrated the Bible, that a spell checker cannot uphold it's value. Would you write a book and call it, "The Fisherman's Koran"? Not, if you didn't want death threats. Well, Christianity doesn't go around making death threats, however, that doesn't change the fact that we are nonetheless insulted by the denigration of our holy book.
