    Apparently it connects to some wiki and underlines all the words found in that wiki. No worries though, I killed it off and installed Miranda.

    Ugh, why would you do that? I mean, why not go all the way and use a dictionary :mad:. Apparently it connects to some dictionary and underlines all the words found in that dictionary.

    My current favourite word is: I'm starting to run out of fav. words!

      Actually it connects to the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy. Try typing in "Earth" and it suggests "Mostly Harmless". mmmm

          Alright - I was finally dragged into this IM crap because I have to communicate with a programmer in Seattle. How do I get Trillian to stop underlining words? (I hate this IM stuff.)

          Give Pidgin[^] a try. It's pretty bare bones, but handles everything I've ever needed from IM (i.e. closes rather quickly :) ).

              Have you tried the Psychic Mode plugin? It's fun to freak people out, til they figure it out anyway.

                    Pay more attention to spelling, maybe? When I used it, it had a really tiny dictionary, but you could add to it.

                      No more than having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped around a very large gold brick.

                      Imagine that you are hired to build a bridge over a river. The river gets slightly wider every day; sometimes it shrinks but nobody can predict when. Your contract says you can't use concrete or steel - the client only provides timber and cut stone (but won't tell you what kind). Gravity changes from hour to hour, as does the viscosity of air. Your only tools are a hacksaw, a chainsaw, a rubber mallet, and a length of rope. Welcome to my world. -Me explaining my job to an engineer
