Description steve 2011-06-23 08:31:57 UTC 
When spell check encounters the word "premade", it doesn't recognize it and opens a correction window.  The second suggestion from the top is "p remade" which makes me suspect that a space was inadvertently inserted into the word.
Comment 1 Caolán McNamara 2011-06-23 08:41:53 UTC 
nah, "p" is an acceptable word in the dictionary and "remade" is. premade isn't so it guess that it might be a missing space between the two.
Comment 2 steve 2011-06-24 08:36:03 UTC 
I am trying to understand this.  I understand that p might be used as a stand alone letter and certainly remade is valid, but I don't understand how "p remade" is a valid choice as a single word in the selection box and I don't understand why "premade" is not a valid choice.

I can see an argument that "pre-made" might be a preferable usage to "premade", but that is not available either.

steve, the spelling corrector is not clever enough to understand that it is fairly improbably that "premade" is a typo for the two words "p remade".
