I found the following stunt from MSN . I think it would be appropriate to play on a fellow writer:

quote:

Have a bro or sis who uses Microsoft Word a lot? Open the program and click on “Autocorrect” under the “Tools” tab. Change the settings so that funny words like “bric-a-brack” or “collywobbles” appear when he or she types a common word, like “the” or “and.” You can also make it so that every time your sibling types his or her name, “Captain Cool Beans” or an equally embarrassing moniker comes up.

I did that to my roommate in college years ago. Whenever he would type in his name, Jerahmie, word would correct it to Jeremy.

He had a normal last name, and word would convert it into a strange misspelling of it.

I thought I was pretty cool back then.

But didn't we all?
