MS Word misspells Hawai'i.

[phism]

Microsoft Word puts the little red line under the word "Hawai'i" when i spell
it with an apostrophe, which is the correct spelling. it says i should spell
it "Hawaii"... which is, perhaps, how a haole would spell it.

So add "Hawai'i" to your custom dictionary and, if you like, add "Hawaii" to
your exclusion dictionary.
