When Spell Check Attacks

Proofreading? We don't need no stinkin' proofreading:

Spell-checking on his computer is never going to be the same for Santa Cruz solo practitioner Arthur Dudley.

In an opening brief to San Francisco's 1st District Court of Appeal, a search-and-replace command by Dudley inexplicably inserted the words "sea sponge" instead of the legal term "sua sponte," which is Latin for "on its own motion."

Hilarity, as they say, insued. Lawyers with a sense of humor. What is the world coming to?
