Does anyone else find it ironic that HSV is not in the windows spellcheck
but HIV is? HSV has probably been around for hundreds of thousands of
years... maybe longer.... HIV has been around for 20! lol

Another interesting thing... the word "Spellcheck" is not in the windows
spellchecker.... hahahaha

Longer if Mcgeogh et al are correct. Their genetic analysis had HSv1 and 2
diverge on the scale of millions of years ago IIRC.

Its a bit more lethal....

One version of word I had would return 'I'll drink to that!' from the
thesaurus if you input 'I want to kill Bill Gates'

I guess we should all add HSV to our dictionaries - it could be bad if we
accepted the recommended spelling correction of HIV. That's a
misunderstanding I don't want to deal with!
