95%, so I must have got one "wrong". Probably "misspell" / "mis-spell", which are in fact both correct. As a linguist I consider myself a lot better informed than the microsoft spellcheck and grammar check: in the latter especially they are so ignorant that they do not understand the difference between formal and colloquial American english!
