Hey all! Not application related but thought I would make you laugh in the PFO land! I have been drafting something for my work as a paralegal, and the Partner in my team has pulled me up for spelling 'acquisitions' wrong... three separate times, in three separate ways. I felt like I was in American Psycho! Turns out, spell check doesn't work for words in capital letters! Thought my embarrassment could make you laugh on this dreadful Wednesday!
