It's just that in "our" English it is written as two words (even without =
Micro$haft). Not that this way makes any more sense.

Nancy,

I know Micro$haft wants to change trainspotter to train spotter, but in
English (like as wot is spoke here) it is one word - certainly as far as
I am aware!

Who says language has to make sense?
