I have a horrible repeated pattern of fingers acting ahead of brain, such that I transpose two letters when typing. Most often, I'll reverse two letters in common patterns, like 'tion' at the end of a word is often spelled 'tino', so instead of 'situation', I'll type 'situatino'.
MS Word KNOWS it's wrong and underlines 'situatino' for me. The system is set to AUTO-CORRECT misspelled words (it will convert 'sugestino' to 'suggestion' automatically without me doing a thing). But some words like 'situatino'? Only one suggestion in the list, but it won't auto fix them!
Drives me nuts!
(Autocorrect == true && Suggestions.Count == 1) Sometimes it fixes it, sometimes it doesn't, so as a developer I'm irked at two different behaviours for the same condition!
(I just typed 'conditino' here and Word will correct that one too.)

Ugh. That's a frustrating situatino to be in.

I always figured it did that to me because it got tired of constantly correcting my mistakes. 
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

You do know that you can give Wrod a list of your common mis-typings and their replacements in the auto-correct settings panel?

I probably missed something, but what is the point of this new "Everything else[^]" category voting?
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

There are articles that not really fit into the existing categories...Let say some more theoretic article...

Yes, but you wouldn't vote for "Garbage of the month", now would you?

Ever gotten a spam email on your mobile phone and click the remove link but when it opens in the browser your are automatically directed to the mobile site instead of the remove link making it impossible to remove yourself from the spam list via mobile?

There's your problem - never click on any links in a spam message, not even the "stop sending me this rubbish" link. All it does is let the spammer know that your email address is valid, which means they can demand a higher price when they sell it on to other spammers.

Normally I wouldn't but BMW already knows the email is valid because of bill pay.

Depends if it's really spam (i.e. unsolicited from some list sold to spammers), in which case you're right, or if it's some 'extra information newsletter' or something from a reputable company you signed up with, in which case the unsubscribe should work correctly.

<insert extreme="" profanity="">
I use Internet Explorer for really one reason - it's somewhat compatible with my customer's backend exchange system. So, I find myself on any given day having numerous tabs open. It's a set of working thoughts - you know how this goes. This morning, I had something like 14 tabs open, all various searches, things I wanted to read, things I needed to read, working email..
Windows pushes out an update, and I get a popup "May I reboot?" just as I'm hitting a return in my email. Yup, flushed. Now, here's my bitch. IE only remembers the last window it closed. So, W7 closes down the browser and the last window closed is some meaningless popup.
Coming back to IE, if I want to reopen the last session, I get the meaningless popup.
I have searched over the years for extensions and what have you that will automatically remember the tabs in a fashion like Firebird or Opera?

There you go now. You want to use a vintage system and expect it to operate like the latest version. Good luck with that.

I know, I know. I only use it for compatibility. The funny part is that IE11 is NOT compatible with the Exchange server, so I'm having to use IE10. Not that it would matter...
iE tab looks like it's giving me some hope....
