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.



You can always add it to your personal dictionary.
