Think its meant to be a dipthong, which generally seem to have disappeared from spelling. Which is probably a good thing. |

I'm sure MS Word used to adjust the text for dipthongs, not sure if it still does.

Where, wear, ware You beat me to it, but first I checked and find that ware is not a word on it's own. It is in the Oxford English Dictionary. In fact, in a burst of irony, I believe 'ware' appears in the nursery rhyme "Simple Simon met a pieman..." |

not so much as looks wrong. I find it difficult not to use the possessive noun 's on it. I'm always writing something along the lines of "it's cheese" instead of "its cheese".
Wait is that the right way round? Yes, bizarrely "it's" is a contraction of it is rather than, as one might imagine, the posessive, which is "its". No, don't thank me. |

I just realised that my it's cheese example is pretty ambiguous.
