If you check the "3rd person perspective" category while contributing a game, the spellchecker will notify you (in the "Proofread" step) that "3rd" is a misspelling. Nothing fatal, but it feels a little silly.

As far as I've been told, stuff like that isn't considered a real word.

What's silly about the spellchecker is that it checks the spelling in system messages which weren't entered by the user in the first place.

The dumbest thing is, it also spellchecks Tech-Info, even though the contributor cannot type in anything of his own. Of course, it chokes on "8X" (denoting CD speed) and "[Windows] 98SE".
