Because it might not be your WordPress spell check that is underlining the word but your Firefox browser! I had the same problem. I had to add WordPress to the Firefox browser built-in speller.

If WordPress is the correct spelling/form, why does the spellchecker in WordPress underline the word in red, indicating that it is wrong? Things that make me go “Mmmm…”!

You will need to go back to blaming CompuServe and many other much older companies. Microsoft played with MicroSoft in the earliest days but dropped the lower case for a variety of reasons. The capital letter in the middle has been long standing tradition with computer technology so there is no “bad” in that decision. It is following the tradition.

There have been lots of bad business name decisions, like the Nova (means “it doesn’t go” in Spanish) car, but the middle letter has been around for a very long time, even before Matt was born.

Too bad Matt didn’t spell it like a normal word at the beginning, i.e., capitalize the first letter. would have saved a lot of needless time spent doing things like this. Too bad he can’t admit the decision was a bad one from the start.

Is there a plug-in that will automatically correct for the proper usage of its and it’s as well as loose and lose? Forget WordPress, those two must be the most consistently mistaken usages on the internet.
