    Spell Check "Blog"

    I love that on Wordpress, the word blog comes up as incorrectly spelled when I'm writing in my blog.  You would think that they could do something about that.  Seriously.  According to the spell checker, I may be looking for the words "bog", "log" or "Blag" (what is a blag?).  Interestingly, "Blag" is not an identified word on Typepad spellcheck.  According to dictionary.com a Blag is British slang for a robbery.  Why is that in their dictionary instead of Blg?

    On Typepad (a slightly smarter spell checker) blog appears to be in the dictionary, however "blogger" is not.  Replacement options for "blogger" include - "logger", "flogger", "blocker" and "bigger".

    So - keep on Flogging on your Blag.
