Dear Microsoft: Barack Obama is not Osama or a barrack

,----[ Quote ]
| While I write this, the spell-check function in Microsoft Word will 
| indignantly underline President-elect Barack Obama's name until I concede to 
| referring to him as a building for lodging soldiers.  
| 
| Well, I'm not giving in that easily.
| 
| Both the words "Barack" and "Obama" appear above squiggly red lines in Word 
| documents. The question is: ... really?

Microsoft tries to fix big glitch on Obama

,----[ Quote ]
| One mixup, with potentially vast effect, apparently belongs to the
| unintentional category and gained wide currency this week: The spell-checker
| in Microsoft's Hotmail e-mail software recommends that users replace the
| word "Obama" with "Osama."
