The Spellcheck Family

Before 1882 spelling errors were relatively common in the United States, that was until the Spelczek family immigrated to the USA from Poland. The Spelczeks traveled all across the USA in a horseless carriage correcting the typos on store signs. Recently, Besnik Spelczek of Silicon Valley, California decided to digitize the family business and installed “spellcheck” the anglicization of his surname, into every computer that ran word or open office. A portion of the profit from every personal computer sold since 1997 has gone to Besnik and his children.
