I would hope that it was more "almost destroyed a keyboard" with that, versus "almost destroyed my sinuses". Also, to not be drinking while reading here should have been self-evident years ago. ;)

Pirate Warhol's most famous work would, doubtless, be the painting he did of 32 "O'Campbell's Rum" bottles.

Maybe Word has secretly spent its entire career waiting for someone to make reference to the late Tommy Bolin, guitarist for the James Gang and Deep Purple.

As I don't use Chrome much, I need to ask, is it case sensitive? If you were testing on the words you just typed, it may be expecting them in all lower case and not proper case. I know that at least in some cases MS's all-invasive spell checker gets its digital panties in a knot over capitalization.

As far as my system's concerned ( Fedora 20 / Chromium ) it doesn't like Bolin nor bolin.

I know what you mean (since my employer is, to my eternal chagrin, standardized on Office and, because of our client base, unlikely to change in the foreseeable future), but, no, that's not one of Word's hangups. I mean, yes, it'll throw a red wavy line if you go all rANdOm caPITaliZation, but Mid-Sentence Capitalization doesn't trigger it.

(What bothers me about MS' autocorrection thingy is when I'm writing out code or command line stuff that should be all lower-case (save for possible CamelCase-ish function or variable names), and it'll automatically capitalize it.)

So... turn it off. All that stuff is turnoffable in Word - selectively, even. For instance, I'll have no truck with "smart quotes" or priggish capitalization "repair", but I'm happy to let it throw the accents on Dìqiú for me, superscript the "th" in "10^th", and convert 1/2 into ½ automatically.

One thing I've noticed, however, as I've been working on CTCS, is that I have an odd compulsive quirk. If I'm typing along and commit a typo, and see Word autocorrect it, I have to back up and fix it myself anyway. It's like I'm paying a little penance for being a sloppy typist. :)
