Editing a piece for my forthcoming performance at City Voices, I noticed that Word had put a red line under "aubergine" in the phrase "breakfast consisted of banana and coconut served up with fried aubergine".
Checking why it was wrong, I realised that it was because I had the spelling checker set to US English. What was more startling was the suggested correction - "fried aborigine".

You mean to say you can't get Fried Aborigine at your UK McDonald's? It's so very common over here I never even though to mention it. It's not as good as Frog Fricasee, but it has a distinct and delicious crunch.
