Apple's own spell checker does not recognize 'iWork" as a correctly spelled word. I was using Pages when I made this discovery.


It identifies iChat, iTunes, iMac, iPod, and various other iProducts as spelled correctly.

I started this topic once before, but when I logged on just now it dissappeared. What happened to it?

I assume that's because OS X 10.3.7 pre-dates iWork, and, knowing how careful Apple tries to be about giving things away, i doubt they'd put a future product name in their dictionary before it's announced. I don't think they even got a trademark on it until the day of (or the day before) the keynote.

Actually, they did this back in August. There was a piece of software called iWork by IGG Software that change it's name to iBiz when Apple (presumably) bought the patent from them.
