Threw

According to Dictionary.com:


According to Microsoft (Outlook), this is not a word:


No wonder our literacy rate is going down. Heck, even the spell check that we rely on (half the reason people stopped even trying to learn to spell) is inaccurate.

If there's any bright side to this at all, it was the research I did while blogging this entry and found out that "thru" is a real word (which Blogger just highlighted as a misspelling) that has been in existence, allegedly, since 1839. And I always thought it was just a word people use on the internet because they can't spell "through."
