Obama Spell-Check Watch

A letter I just sent to Andrew Sullivan:
Dear Andrew,

I blog on blogger and it has annoyed me that "Obama" is still considered an incorrect word according to their spellchecker. Of these four names, only Obama's is highlighted in red: "Obama Clinton Giuliani McCain" Note, the correct word proffered for Obama is not Osama (which is actually also highlighted in red) but "ABM." Osama gets "Asama" for some reason. Asama is a mountain in Japan according to the Wiki .

Anyway, maybe we can start a petition to get the spellchecker updated. The man's the nominee (and next president!).

Thanks for all your work,
JC
Let's see if Sullivan quotes me and how long it takes from his quote til it gets done.
