small "i" restored
by Barry Wellman 21 Jan '05

21 Jan '05

Readers with even a short memory will recall that a brief while ago, I asked how to get MS Word 2002 to accept my small-i "internet" as well as my big-I "Internet. (Am I the only one who thinks of Gulliver's Travels' Big Enders vs Little Enders when this discussion happens?) I want to report back that Andy Williamson's tip worked. I went to Tools, SPelling and Grammar, Options, Custom Dictionaries, and then Modify. (I only had 1 dictionary called "Custom"). I added "internet" in. I spell and grammar checked a document with both Internet and internet, and neither was flagged. Thankfully, I didn't have to use Jeremy Hunsinger's drastic notion of turning off my main dictionary. That sounds like a cure worse than the disease.

small i and MSW
by Barry Wellman 21 Jan '05

21 Jan '05

Re the small-i internet discussion, has anyone figured out how to beat the MS Word problem. Every time I type in "internet" instead of "Internet" and I have my grammar checker on, I get the cursed green-underline. I cannot, even using auto-correct and updating my spell checker, get it to stop nagging me to capitalize the "I". This is Word 2002, which I think is aka Word XP. Any fixes for this? I don't want to force it to always small "i", as American Sociological style for books would be to capitalize the first letter of all major words.

TL asked for literature on social software. This isn't literature, but a pointer to a seminar on social software in Oslo a month ago that I enjoyed. All the presentations at the seminar are available in streaming mpeg-4 video from: http://www.intermedia.uio.no/projects/designingdesign/ social_software.html --anders ........................
