Noticed that the word (name) "Thruxton" always came up as miss spelled every time I checked with the spell checker then I started to wonder.. Is the spell checker Triumph illiterate?
So I tested a few "Triumph" related words..

Speedmaster = Speed master
Bonneville
Thruxton = Thrusting
Thunderbird = Thunder bird
Daytona = Dayton
Scrambler
Hinckley = Hinkle
Coventry
Meriden = Meridian
Trident

hmm... someone needs to teach the spell checker a word or two about Triumph
:hammer:

You can modify and use a custom dictionary. If you really want you could even create macros/autotext for these items. That would save you, like, 20 msec a day...

There have been many proposals for revising English spelling, here is Mark Twain's plan:

"For example, in Year 1 that useless letter "c" would be dropped to be replaced by either "k" or "s", and likewise "x" would no longer be part of the alphabet.

The only kase in which "c" would be retained would be the "ch" formation, which will be dealt with later.

Year 2 might reform "w" spelling, so that "which" and "one" would take the same konsonant, while Year 3 might well abolish "y" replasing it with "i" and Iear 4 might fiks the "g/j" anomali wonse and for all.

Jenerally, the, the improvement would kontinue iear bai iear with Iear 5 doing awai with useless double konsonants, and Iears 6-12 or so modifaiing vowlz and the rimeining voist and un voist konsonants. Bai Iear 15 or sou, it wud fainali bi posibl to meik ius ov thi ridandant letez "c", "y" and "x" - bai now just a memori in the maindz ov ould doderez - tu riplas "ch", "sh", and "th" rispektivli.

Fainali, xen, aafte sam 20 iers ov orxogrefkl riform, wi wud hev a lojikl, kohirnt speling in ius xrewawt xe Ingliy-spikingwerld."

Try running that through spell check !
