That is because it isn't a word, auto check basically. It will happen with camo or doubledenim too for example.

I'm still looking for a term for the phenomenon.

I am well-steeped in "coincidence".
I hope I am not over-shouting?, but something weird just happened. I have to call this What are the F'n odds? One of the changes to my diet as a result of dialysis was to quit drinking beer or any alcohol at all for that matter (the sky is crying, look at the tears roll down the street) and I switched to ginger beer, a brand called Bunderberg which for some reason I can not fathom, I imagined came from the Olympic Peninsula. Anyway, I recently bought a new microscope whose specifications are the equivalent of any microscope in use today in any modern laboratory in the world and capable of adapting a camera to the eye pieces and capturing images to your PC or any digital storage device. (Affordable at $279) While researching which camera to buy that will adapt to a microscope I came across a website that offers a lot of the info I was looking for and while I was examining an example of their photomicrography images I came across a set of images that was devoted to beer and specifically beer bottle labels looked at under a microscope and turned into artistic creations. And one of these images turned out to be from a label of Bunderberg Ginger Beer which turns out to be Australia's best- selling ginger beer. Who'd a thunk?
Like Christine, I'm sorry to hear about your health problems, ER, but it is good to hear that things are improving. Welcome back to the fold.
Thanks Christine! I remember you well. Glad to be back.
Hi Erasmus. Good to see you back. Sorry to hear about your health problems but you seem to have a positive outlook so good for you
Welcome back!
Hello Everyone! I've been gone for quite awhile, more than a year, but I'm back, maybe not as often I used to, but we'll see. Unfortunately I had some medical problems that significantly impacted the way I approach my leisure time activities, such watching movies. Basically what happened was my kidneys failed and now I am on Kidney Dialysis which is three times a week at the Seattle VA, and each of Dialysis is 4 hours long plus transportation time to and from since I haven't owned a car now for more than 20 years and you can see how that kinda messes up your hither-to-for relatively comfortable life. (I am retired.) But don't worry everyone, everything is going fine. The nurses and the doctors all say I am one of their best patients at following their instructions about diet and other changes in the way I look and think about life's challenges. (Since this process began more than a year ago I have lost 40 lbs., down from 220 and I feel heathier than I have in a very long time, when Indulged in too many bad habits.) This because I am intensely interested in all aspects of my treatment. I am blessed that this happened to me in the 21st century and not in say, 1900, given the of medicine at the time as depicted in the excellent Cinemax series The Knick.
What are, soon to be extinct?
