You'd think they'd learn to turn off auto-spell check. It isn't too hard in most software to spot when you misspell a word, with the nice red underlines, and it would only really need to be used on the non-name text.

This is the kind of fun that keeps getting articles about Obama changed to articles about Osama.

Max Supernova is kinda cool. He could be a celestial super hero.

Max Power could be jealous, he has the name that you want to touch, but you musn't touch!

Haha! One of my high school alma mater's athletic rivalries.

Middletown is the next town over.

The student body was not known for their intelligence and the high school was a bit rough and tumble.

We used to have a customer that would come in and his name was Richard. He wanted to piss his dad off for some reason, so he legally changed his name to d**k Danger!
He was the coolest guy too. His dad was really mad lol.
