- cwilkes 7y agoI can’t think about the word for a small land mass in the ocean without saying “spell ISLE meaning island” Which now that I typed it up looks like it should be pronounced “is-Lee”

- neilobremski 7y agoMan, I still drop this line as a bad joke into conversations sometimes. I remember it saying "That is incorrect" (it sounded so final!), "The correct spelling of <WORD> is ...". The way that it would say each word was always preceded by a slight pause and looking back now I'd imagine it was due to having to find the word data and load it. Back then I simply thought the damn thing was mocking me. I loved it. Mine had a flat face though, so it must have been a later model.
