Why would outlook think every word is mispelled?

[Julie]

I have one user who, when emailing another user, is told by the Outlook
Spelling and Grammar dictionary that every single word is mispelled. This
only happens with one person she is trying to email. Neither user's
computers seem to be malfunctioning in any other way.

Got any suggestions?

Incorrect spelling, grammar, punctuation and failure to use capital letters
will incur the wrath of a spell checker..

Julie - you've just gotta love the irony - you've actually misspelt
'misspelled' ;o) It is one of those funny words though - the prefix 'mis'
meaning 'not correct' ends in 's' and, obviously, 'spelled' or 'spelt' (as I
prefer) begins with 's' you cannot omit either (and, no, it is *not*
hypenated, that's another common mistake people make; they see two identical
letters together and think they have to separate them. In the case of
misspelt, that's not correct. There are exceptions, however, like no-one, it
shouldn't be spelt noone).

Not having a go at you, just thought it was rather ironic that a question
about missspelling should have 'misspelled' misspelt! ;o)
