Oxymoron
When typing a document recently the word "article" showed up as a spelling mistake and when I hit the Spelling tab to see why it was shown as an error, it turned out to be suggesting the same spelling as a substitute. Any comments please? Thanks Dave.

Look closer, it appears to have caught a misspelling, "l" instead of "i".

The cross-bar of the letter "t" influences the brain to fake a break in the lower-case "l"?
