I just tried this on my iPad, because this is its most irritating flaw. Sadly it didn't work, and nor did the space-bar "trick". The only option if the word isn't in the dictionary is to erase and try again. It's absolutely infuriating when I've typed out a long name, only to find a typo near the start. It's actually easier to write stuff on my (Android) phone, despite the much smaller screen, because I can place the cursor exactly where I want.
I'd love to know why they moved the kalamata olives from the section with pickled onions, gherkins etc to a section of shelving next to the pet food, along with other Greek foodstuffs such as antipasti, pesto and Bolognese sauce. Because that one really had me scratching my head.
How did you get it to walk on a leash? I tried that once with a kitten that adopted me. Nice little harness, and she reacted with unhinged fury when I buckled it on. Left her to calm down then clipped on the leash. Let’s just say I didn’t bother taking her outside for a walk.
Jebel Toubkal in Morocco, 4,167m (13,671ft), the highest mountain in north Africa. We were on a two-week trek in the Atlas range, so quite well acclimatised. Stayed overnight in the Neltner hut and started the ascent early in the morning. There was quite a bit snow, despite it being summer, but only a little at the summit itself. Fantastic view of the Atlas Mountains. The descent was quicker, in part due to us sliding down one big snowfield on our bums. A meal was ready for us when we got back to the hut, from memory in the mid-afternoon, but I had no appetite, too tired. We went up to the bunk room and rested. A very satisfying day.

We had a test of the national emergency system here in the UK a couple of months back, a broadcast message via your phone. I knew it was coming so it wasn't a total shock, but a) I was driving, b) my phone is Bluetoothed to my hearing aids, and c) I was on holiday in north Wales, so the message was in Welsh. Nearly shat myself.
The only time I've knowingly been in 40+ heat was in Sydney. The house I was staying in had no fans and was stifling, so I opened the front door, thinking to let a breeze blow though. It was like opening an oven door, a gust of hot air in my face. The whole week was unbearable - blistering hot outside, far too cold in places with aircon.
I once subbed ghee for butter when making icing for a cake. My logic was that ghee is just clarified butter. That may be true, but it tasted awful. I'm worried now that this comment will somehow find its way into an AI nugget recommending ghee as a butter substitute. It isn't! Don't do it! (Delicious for curries though.)
Elderly cats don't bury their shit. A neighbour's cat used to bury stealth bombs in my garden until he got too old and decrepit to bother. The pinnacle was a gross runny shit on top of a creeping thyme. I was thrilled when he died, but then she got a young feisty cat that slaughters birds. Sigh.
No, no magnifying glass, it just highlighted the word, options to cut or copy.
