liturgical spelling “corrections”
A little levity for a Friday afternoon: After reading this article on spell-check changes gone awry, I decided to try running this list of liturgical terms (from the Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod) through spell-check in Microsoft Word and see what alternatives it suggested.
The results had me imagining a pastor deciding one week not to give the Aaronic Benediction from Numbers 6, but instead to give an aerobic benediction. And I don’t recommend that anyone drop the Athanasian Creed in favor of a Euthanasia Creed. Here are some other spellcheck suggestions--many of them imaginative misconstruals of Latin phrases. So remember to keep those spellcheckers in check!
