A good thesaurus should do a partial search, and single out
"emplacement" as an adequate response for "emplace."  :(  sigh
 
Hmmmm....   I have never used the SPELLER....  It probably wouldn't
hurt, but friends have used Word Perfect SPELLER programs that have
mangled their text:  removing multiple spaces, for instance.  I would
hate to have a program "second guessing" how many spaces I wanted in
the document.  For instance, a colon requires two spaces following.
With my friends' documents, it is maddening having to "correct" a
thousand and one "double-space" conversions.   Oh, and not to mention
the general requirement that a period be followed by two spaces, not
one.
 
Tell me, did Word Perfect ever fix that particular bug?  I wouldn't
want to use their SPELLER program if they hadn't.
