Only if it's odd that "OpenOffice.org" is not in the OOo dictionary. :-)
Far from "Pretensionness" - I think adding "Flossisms" to the OOo
Dictionary (and the Mozilla Dictionaries) would be a good thing. I
think OOo should add these words,
Gimp
Isn't Gimp and acronym? Shouldn't it be GIMP?
Maybe someone who knows more about this stuff than me should come up
with an "Open Source Language Dictionary" that could be used for all
open source projects. It could have plugins for spell checkers,
dictionaries, and thesauri, (although most of the words wouldn't work
for thesauri). I mean, the recognition of words is important. If OOo
says that the word "OpenOffice.org" is misspelled, that sends a bad
message about the project, and if it says Mozilla is misspelled, that
makes it look like we don't recognize them.
I have created issue #50616,
<http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=50616>. My thought was
that we could assemble the list and then figure what do with it. So,
while this is hot on our heads, please go to the issue and add as many
FLOSSisms that you can think of for the dictionary.
HTH,
