Explain to me how Microsoft Word doesn’t recognize the word “pleather.” Now, just like any other chick I heartily enjoy seeing the whimsy of Word’s options for words it does not recognize. But it had nothing for pleather (other than leather and that just doesn’t count).

I’m running on Word 2006 here, kids. This Word went through the eighties (didn’t it?). It should be frighteningly familiar with ‘pleather.’

(and yes, I’m using ‘pleather’ in the book. Even better: I’m using the term ‘pink pleather.’ Can it get any better?)
