I wonder why Microsoft spell check does not recognize the word “bachelorette”.
This annoys me for multiple reasons.
#1. I spend a significant amount of my time at work emailing my friends. My friends and I talk about very important happenings in the world, including our opinions on the men and the very well dressed woman on “The Bachelorette”. (I love everything that Jillian wears. Even the weird things that don’t really make sense. I have a serious crush on her wardrobe.) And I feel the need to talk about it via email with people daily. And then the guys…I mean SERIOUSLY! She kept the womanizing-ugly shirt wearing-accent having-musician until last week!! He got a free trip to Spain!! So, my point is, I would prefer not to get the spell check box for EVERY email that includes the title of my favorite show. Which is pretty much every single email.
#2. If Microsoft recognizes BACHELOR, it should, by virtue of being a genderly sensitive giant ‘o technology, should recognize the female equivalent?!?! I think so. HEAR THAT MR. GATES?!?
#3. Bachelorette is a fun word. It’s the beginning word to fun-all-female parties. It’s history is fascinating (technically, we should call unmarried women bacheloress’s). It’s way better than the word spinster.
So get with it Microsoft. Make me happy and add it to the dictionary.

OMG you are so funny!! But I have often asked the same question each time it tells me that I have spelled it wrong!
