So, today I was browsing the 'net at work... you didn't think I actually do work while on the job, did you?
Typing in keywords, I ended up finding something that seriously disturbs me in Firefox
(Mozilla). Within the Firefox browser, a sometimes useful feature is the spell-check. It highlights words with a red underlining if they are incorrect. A right-click on that word will pop open a window that offers suggested correct spellings.
When one types in "Jew," or "Jewish," in lowercase, it does not offer those words in a capital-case form. However, with "Christ," "Buddhism," "Muslim," and "Christianity," there is the option to change it to the proper casing.

I find this pretty amusing... What about you?
I use the Mozilla Firefox browser avidly myself. This isn't a criticism, I just think it is something to ponder about...
You'd probably also be surprised that until very recently, our own product names, "firefox", "mozilla", "thunderbird", etc. weren't included in the english dictionary either :-)
