We need a place for us to post words that aren't in the spellchecker and should be.

I know these need to go in there:
surprise
website
spellcheck
spellchecker

Also, if you spellcheck your own name and it doesn't recognize you, let us know and we will add it.

This is your only chance to post one-liners that will be constructive. Have fun!!!

Words I've noticed that SpellCheck [sic] does not recognize:

I'd
would've
could've
should've

And the following proper nouns:

Saddam
Hussein
Rumsfeld
Wolfowitz
Osama (okay, we don't use that one so much anymore - but we may need it again around October)

Thoght It had a "learn" feature! If so teach it, but be careful!

Whenever I type George W. Bush, the spell checker suggests George "WY" Bush. It might at least suggest George "Why Bush?"

Yeah - but only till you dump your cache - which I do about every three days.

Oh, yeah - SpellCheck keeps trying to "correct" emoticon code as well - "lol" and "rolleyes" and "w00t" and "thumbsup" and "wub" and so on...

And I noticed yesterday that it doesn't recognize any form of "privatize" or "privatization" either.

The following words are no longer flagged as being misspelled:
surprise
website
spellcheck
spellchecker
I'd
would've
could've
should've
Saddam
Hussein
Rumsfeld
Wolfowitz
Osama
George W. Bush
privatize
privatization

Additionally, emoticons are no longer flagged as being misspelled!

Mike

Nader

Rev_DelFuego

isnt in

would
should
could


These words, when i am typing fast, become "woudl", "coudl", and "shoudl". The spellcheck does not recognize my misplacement of the "l"

I think you may be misunderstanding what we're looking for here.

We're looking for words that, when spelled correctly, are flagged as being misspelled. I have little control over the suggested words.

would
should
could

These all are spelled properly, and the spellcheck ignores them.

woudl
shoudl
coudl

These are not words, and the spellchecker flags them as being misspelled, as it should.

Mike

Nope Spell check is still flaging Nader. Maybe you have it added to your cookies.

It's kind of a pain to add the words, so I'm going to wait until a few pile up...

SpellCheck doesn't recognize "al-Qaeda" - or, more specifically "Qaeda". "al" seems to be okay.

I have a few -

Fark (heh )
RNC
DNC
listserve

These aren't in there

CNN MSNBC AND DSL
