My Iphone insists on correcting some words that I don’t want corrected! I wish it worked more like spell checker – it will give you the suggestion and you can take it or leave it. Most of the time I like that it corrects my fat finger mistakes and sometimes actual spelling mistakes but when I want to spell Dierburgs – that is what I want. Not Diet Urga – what the heck is Diet Urga anyway?
“The Mongolian capital
Urga sat on the banks of the
Tuul River in the bowl of a valley formed by the four mountain peaks of Bogdo Ul, Songino Khairkhan, Chingeltei and Bayanzurh, all part of the Khan Khentui range. The town was founded in 1639 but suitably for the capital of a nomadic nation only settled in its current location in the central east of the country, a pivotal position on the old
Tea Road that took overland trade between Peking and
St Petersburg, in 1778. Urga was the Russian name for the town. In the Baron’s time the Mongolians knew it as Niislel Khuree (1911-1924); previously they called it Orgoo (1639-1706) and Ikh Khuree (1706-1911).”

I’m sure the folks in Urga Mongolia don’t all need to be on diets – and what they have to do with a grocery store chain in Missouri is beyond me but Iphone has decided that they are inexplicitly linked. So, I have to type Dierburgss and then go back and erase the last s. It still sits there staring at me with its red underline but I have triumphed over the Iphone! I am woman, hear me type!
