Whatever you think about Florida as a team or their heroic leader, Chuck Norris Tim Tebow, it was a pretty impressive, passionate, off-the-cuff speech he gave in September after they lost to Mississippi. What did he say?

To the fans and everybody in Gator Nation, I’m sorry. I’m extremely sorry. We were hoping for an undefeated season. That was my goal something Florida has never done here.

I promise you one thing, a lot of good will come out of this. You will never see any playing in the entire country play as hard as I will play the rest of the season. You will never see someone push the rest of the team as hard as I will push everybody the rest of this season.

You will never see a team play harder than we will the rest of the season. God Bless.

That speech is now getting its own plaque, which will be placed outsde the front entrance to Florida’s new football stadium. Some question Urban Meyer’s decision to put up the plaque now, while Tebow is still at the school, but he says he didn’t want to wait, since you never know what happens in the future. He didn’t want the speech to get lost.

There’s already a replica Tebow jersey hanging inside the stadium, to honor his Heisman win. Tebow says he hasn’t seen the plaque yet, but thinks it is cool to have something he said affecting to many people.

Tim Tebow’s Speech Immortalized at Florida

Do you know what a blue, squiggly line means? What? You’ve never seen the blue, squiggly? You’re right, you haven’t, that is unless you’re playing around with the Office 2007 beta. The blue, squiggly is a new visual alert to let you know you’ve used the wrong spelling of a word in context.

This sentence hear fore example.

If I had been typing this in Word 2007, the “hear” and the “fore” would have been identified by a blue, squiggly underline. The correct spelling of those words would have obviously been “here” and “for” respectively.

When I get to my home computer, I’ll grab a screen shot of the functionality and share it.

It’s amazing to me the amount of intellect it probably takes for Word to figure this type of stuff out. I think it would be pretty enlightening to see the code and logic behind that functionality.

Thanks to Jensen for sharing, and providing the link to more details about the rest of the activity surrounding the work being done by the Speech and Natural Language group. Jensen shares some interesting thoughts of his own behind how he believes the squiggly features improve his overall writing.
