There are so many unsung heroes in this world. I learned about a new one last night while watching an amazing documentary, The World Series of Poker, on ESPN.

Mr. Richard Brodie might be known for a little accomplishment of writing the first version of Microsoft Word, but he did something of such greater value and deserves recognition.

It is a pleasure to let you know who deserves the credit for something that saves you everyday. I know you have always wondered "WHO? WHO created the swiggly red line under my misspelled words? WHO'S the genius behind this lifesaving hint?"

Well my friends, Mr. Richard Brodie invented the red swiggle under our hideous misspellers.

I no longer need to worry about switching 'b' and 'd' and will never recite that silly rhyme 'i before e except after c or when sounding like a as in neighbor or weigh' because you will catch me. Thanks Brodie.
