# On not knowing how to spell "internet"

So, I have this friend that has been doing her PhD thesis for a very (very) long time. Every time I see her I try and get her to finish it because: (1) she needs the kick in the ass; and (2) her computer is very old and I'm worried it's going to die before she finishes. Yesterday I discovered her computer is so old that it <em>does not know how to spell <strong>internet</strong></em>! It's Windows 95 + WordPerfect 6--the internet was around then but I guess it hadn't made it through to WordPerfect's spell-checker? I need to redouble my persuasive efforts.
