Napoleon Dynamite, Meet Max Supernova

If I've told you kids one, I've told you a thousand times: Don't trust spellcheck!

AP reports another case of adults at Taylor Publishing just hitting F7:

A computer spell-checker run amok christened several Pennsylvania high school students with new — and in some cases unflattering — last names.

Middletown Area High School's yearbook listed Max Zupanovic as "Max Supernova," Kathy Carbaugh as "Kathy Airbag" and Alessandra Ippolito as "Alexandria Impolite," just to name a few.

"It was kind of funny, but kind of rude at the same time," Ippolito said ["Spell-check Run Amok Changes Names in Pa. Yearbook," AP via Yahoo News, 2008.06.02].

Max Supernova -- maybe Max will keep that one! But I hate to think what they'll do to my daughter's name.
