Please add the word "metrology" (the science that deals with measurement) to your spell checker. I recently downloaded a list of Nobel Prize laureates that someone had compiled and found Albert Michelson listed for "precision meteorology." I chuckled at this and mentioned the error at a celebration of the 100th anniversary of Michelson's Nobel Prize. I thought this was simply a case of careless editing by the list compiler, but one of my colleagues suggested that "metrology" might have been changed by a spell-checker. I discounted this theory at first but I entered "metrology," in OpenOffice 2.0 and sure enough it got the red underline! The "montrose.net" spell checker has it right, by the way.
