Movie Spellchecker

Witches in movies seem to often mutter the wrong incantation, turning their friends into frogs, or summoning unwanted demons, etc.

Given the apparent frequency of this sort of cockup, I thought it prudent that they, and other would-be witches, use a spellchecker before casting one.

Using research drawn from old manuscripts and all manner of folkloric writings, a reference work of unprecedented accuracy will be invaluable to those of occultic persuasion.

It will also cut down on the likelihood of winding up with Belphegor or Melchiresa marauding around the lounge room while your parents are out.

       Actually, when someone typed in 'I'd like to see Bill Gates dead.'   

       The grammar checker on my computer would pull up first, 'I'll drink to that!'

       While we're at it, perhaps we could have a device that proofed the wildly fraudulent science and history some scriptwriters rely on for their plot devices.

       Dr Curry there was a program in the UK done by the Open University that looked at the supposed science behind various movie scenes, such as the compressed gas bottle ram idea, and the electromagnet frezzer opening in the Hollow Man.
