here's a sweet little tidbit for the nothing-better-to-do.

i stave off procrastination and succumb to academic responsibility, and proceed to type my social sciences homework using microsoft word. i type in a sentence including the phrase "...as they see fit for its well-being." and to my unsurprise, the green squiggly zigzag underscore appears underneath the 'well-being' word, signifying the all-too-common grammatical error in my work.

knowing that the word grammar autocorrect can *sometimes* come in handy (specially in identifying double spaces) and actually provide proper errata for my language use, i right-click the term. the correction comes up, being 'well being'. i see no apparent error in this, and so i opt to change my word use.

but a few seconds later, lo and behold, the green squiggly zigzag underscore appears yet again, under 'well being' this time. i right-click it again, half-expecting the correction to be 'wellbeing' (which would be totally wrong). to my surprise, what comes up?

'well-being'.
Currently feeling: irritated

But I know you're much more brainy than that MS Word.

happy New Year!
