  • ?otd, Dec. 18, 2008: Runaway spellchecker

    TODAY’S QUESTION:

    When uninformed spellcheckers take an uncommon but perfectly spelled word and replace it with a word in their dictionary, that’s known as the Cupertino effect.

    Example: Spellcheckers unfamiliar with Obama would suggest Osama as a replacement. Hitting “replace all” without looking could accidentally make you look like a McCain supporter. Whoops.

    Question: The Cupertino effect got its name a couple of years ago when spellcheckers would suggest replacing what word with “Cupertino”?
