I was just posting a blog about Lewis Carroll and Alice in Wonderland when I noticed something, and I thought it was worth blogging about separately. I was blogging about Tweedledee and Tweedledum and I was typing sorta fast and I got caught up on the word Tweedledee. The red dotted line showed up underneath my misspelled word. I went to go fix it, when I had spelled it correctly I noticed there was no dotted red line. Spell check recognized this word along with Tweedledum. These words have become so common in our language that even modern technology recognizes them. I just thought it was a fun little discovery, Lewis Carroll has even penetrated a form of technology that he had no idea about. His words are proving to last longer and be more popular than I am sure he could have ever imagined.
Words like Jabberwock though do acquire the red dotted line proving that some of Carroll's story have been more popular around the greater populous.
