P or B? Absorb, but absorption????????

.

Learning about color vision, and which cones get excited about which colors.

Typing my notes.  Observing when Word tells me I'm misspelling something.

Wondering why on earth it's absorB but absorPtion.....................................

Shame on whoever made this decision!  Spelling is enough of a PITA without this sort of thing going on!

Standards are Good, but people making those standards have a moral obligation to make those standards as simple and sensible as possible!

Sheesh.

Very glad to live in an era with spell-checkers, so I don't have to waste valuable mental storage space on memorization of this sort of wrong-headed nonsense.
