  • When over-reliance on spellcheckers results in the substitution of the word "Cupertino" for "cooperation" in a document. This specific substitution is believed to be particularly common in European Union documents (for an example, see:

    cupertino example )

    the last five paragraphs contain several examples.

    Using the term in the extended sense, the substitution could be any word from the spellchecker list.
