That's what I suspected, Quincy. However, I tried correct and incorrect versions of 'taoiseach' in both English and Irish settings and English (UK) underlined the correct spelling but put nothing under the incorrect one, while English (Ireland) underlined both. I wonder what English (Zimbabwe) or English (Indonesia) would do?
John, your mention of your wife's antecedents reminded me that:
I once knew a lady interested in breeding who claimed to be 'related to half Megavissey',
A claim which caused something of a tiff, tantrum or tizzy,
Merely because I then asked her a genealogical question important enough to be bound, as it were, in verbal tooled gilt calf -
Yes, but WHICH half?
