Bloody chutzpah

I was filling in my appraisal, and typed "rôle", and Micros~1 Word's autocorrect feature stripped the circumflex out. The chutzpah! CTRL-Z

So turn autocorrect off. It's a bloody annoyance anyway. If you really need the spellchecker, leave that on and let it highlight whatever it thinks is wrong, but I never let a piece of software "correct" me on its own initiative. Because usually I meant what I wrote.

Oh, I'm aware of the ideosyncrasies of autocorrect; it was the assumption that a correct alternative spelling was wrong that narked me.
