My apologies to red dog 1. I modified his post slightly. You can see the original version and a video of the orange clown singing "I fought the Law" here:

My spell checker knew the "correct" spelling for oompa loompa. How did we ever get along without them?

oompaloompa The spell checker gave that a red line. I was very embarrassed. It makes you look so uncivilized when you do that sort of thing. And then I got the word "embarrassed" wrong because I didn't have enough 'r's or 's's or some damn thing.

Look on the bright side - it's even worse to get too many 'r's or 's's.
