Fucking US English spellcheckers in my software (despite faffing about with so many settings to try to get NZ localisations everywhere), have got me trained to replace every 'z' in a word like 'rationalization' with an 's'.

You can imagine my frustration with the way they mangle Te Reo Māori […]

Oooh 😂
Methinks ‘Barney’ is getting even better at this

(Victory over #spellcheckers!)

Um GRAMMER POLICE ..HELLO #SPELLCHECKERS

Please advise when someone is referencing the New Year in a sentence about what has happened in the new year ...

Do they capitalize the Y in Year and leave the N lower case in New ?
