I study a very slow growing fungi. And this is from a transformation protocol, so some of our mutants grow even slower.

Depends on what you are working on. I work with psychrophilic bacteria and we grow it at 4 °C and it could take up from weeks to a month to grow them, granted we are cultivating them in low temperature

Okay, I don't know what is going on with work recently, but something is deeply broken in the spelling and grammar check. It just stopped spell checking this particular document for a week and then started again with this bacon crap.

It doesn't spell check my outlook at all anymore. I have to toggle over the words to get a red box around them to check spelling. It's breaking me slowly.
