'Millennium' has two N's. Or not.

Users of Microsoft's Word '97 for Windows may have noticed that the program's spell check application accepts both "millenium" and "millennium" as accurate and does not offer a correction. That's not the case in other versions, like Word 2000, which only counts millennium with two Ns as correct.

comments...

Maybe "Millenium" = 2000 and "Millennium" = 2001.
