    Only if used properly. I had a student turn in a paper that was spell checked. Turns out, if you hit "Change All" it changes Skylar to Skylark.

    Why google is important:

    Rapeseed actually exists. Also known as canola seed.

    And since when is "spell check" one word?

    Rapeseed is actually a crop from the canola family. So it's an oilseed more specifically.

    More importantly. How the heck did it get such an extreme name?
    Googled myself...

    "The name derives from the Latin for turnip, rāpa or rāpum, and is first recorded in English at the end of the 14th century. Older writers usually distinguished the turnip and rape by the adjectives round and long(-rooted) respectively."

    Got to love the English language!

    That poor seed. Did they catch the suspect? It was a sunflower seed wasn't it?!

    Although, I am wondering what the OP thought the spelling mistake was. If they didn't mean rapeseed, what WERE they talking about?
