Default Whats the deal with MS Word?

Have any of you noticed that if you type Camaro into MS Word, it say it's wrong. Yet if you type things like Chevelle, or Toyota, no spelling error underline. Don't ya think that after 40 years, the name is well known?

I know it well probebly be locked, but hey, its kinda LSX related... But yeah, I just added it to my dictionary, I just thought it was interesting that they didn't have it in the dictionary from the get go. And no, I'm not trying to pad my post count...

About the name, oddly enough that was my nick name in high school, and when I posted up saying hi in the greeting section, some one posted that pic up, so I had to make it my avi.

Cool. Yeah, I just made this thread to see if people have any ideas why. Heh, maybe we can even get a petition together to get MS to add it to the Word dictionary...
