Hi Kenneth,

On 28 November 2001 at 09:22:37 [GMT-0500] (which was 14:22 where I
live) Kenneth S. Rhee wrote to David Elliott and made these points:

GF>>> I would LIKE autocorrect to do it MS sytle

DE>> NO NO and NO.

Auto (self) correct - not Automatic correct. Not really a misnomer,
just an easily misunderstood name. The TB implementation of
AutoCorrect will cause a self correction for a marked auto-correctable
word on a double right click. This is how the function operates, how
it is designed to operate and how it always has operated. It is not a
bug. Nor is the feature bugged.

The "bug" is in some people's expectations and possibly in the naming
of the function (although I don't actually agree with that POV).

As David quite rightly points out, for the correction to happen
without some level of confirmation would be a problem for users
without those expectations.

If you wish to request a new feature of "correct spelling mistakes
without having to double right click" (shudder), then feel free to do
so.

If you wish to report a bug, feel free to do so.

It is like to create tensions and arguments when a "new feature"
request is sneaked in under the guise of a "bug report".

My own vote on this new feature request is that I prefer the status
quo by far.
