Hey, Google: failing to spellcheck Android 2.0 can have 'undesireable consequences'

Add this into the December patch, won't you, Google?

Slow news day?

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 10th 2009 10:02PM]

was thinking the same...

There's nothing "slow news" about it. You don't have blatant, obvious, MS-Word catchable spelling errors in production software, period. This is middle-school level crap.

While their fixing spelling errors, they should really fix the Finance "applicaton" as well!

"they're". With this entry it had to be done...

actually, if you're american...

"they're."

(since you decided to include a period, it goes inside of the quotation marks)

With this entry it had to be done...

Ahem, perhaps Google should deal with spelling mistakes the Engadget way..... read the comments on this story...... (http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/12/new-western-digital-wd-tv-live-media-player-hits-best-buy/) :D

@Notorious True, but MS Word red flags the word "judgement" as well and that is an accepted, albeit British, spelling. Googling "undesireable or undesirable," I found numerous uses of the version with the 'e.' I guess it's a matter of taste.

They misspelled "application" in the 5th line, dumbass.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 11th 2009 9:58AM]

You know you're an engineer when you can't spot the spelling mistake.

I couldn't agree more. I must have read it 3 times before I noticed the error. lol I've still got 2 more years to go on my engineering degree...
