As your typing out your ingenious thought that someone else has already thought of and posted eons ago, once you complete enough words for a match to another specific topic, it alerts you.

Or I could search better...

Annotation:







       Ooooh, this would be both wonderful and terribly annoying, as all autocomplete functions are.

       Sounds like it could also be used as an HB glossary.

       A warning when you submit your idea would use far less custard. Am I using the term custard correctly?   

       I'm not totally sure about the custard/tumbleweed thing here at HB.   

       It actually kind of scares me.
