It doesn't have a spollchoker either. And anyway, it should be "@##&$%^&". This is the official spelling in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa and the EU official translators. The "@#&$%^&" spelling only applies in the USA and to certain tribes in Papua New Guinea. Incidentally, the EU (European Union) is planning to standardise (standardize) English spelling throughout Europe. A study by the University of Minnesota (Smith & Henkleman, 1983) identified an 83% redundancy in the written English language). These changes will be phased in over the next seven years. The first phase, in 2004, will see the elimination of double consonants which are the major contributor (38%) to English language redundancy. For example, in all official documents from March 2004 the word 'gullible' will be written 'gulible'. It is expected that this standard will be applied by the UN to all English speaking countries from 2007. That means you guys in the USA will have to spell like what we do too!!! Maz
