The Seattle Times is running a piece on the influence of spellcheckers on language and how decisions are made about what is and isn't included in their dictionaries. Interesting stuff, though, I admit, not as in depth as I would have liked (because I'm a word geek).

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] oldmangrumpus for the tip.
