How does this prevent anyone from writing whatever they want? Don't be ridiculous; all I want is for the software to warn me that I was probably not writing what I wanted to write. It's not that "some people" don't like the words, it's that they don't belong in nearly any professionally written text. At the time (it's been 9 years!) I was in school and I could have gotten in serious trouble with teachers should these kinds of typos be made. People could also get in trouble in their jobs if they for example published posters with those kinds of words by mistake. You bet I'm gonna be pissed off at the software if it didn't warn me (in fact I managed to catch the typo last-minute, and I was quite pissed off at it. Which is why I took all the time to modify and upload the dictionaries). I seriously hope you're not re-introducing the words into the dictionary -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue. You are the assignee for the issue.
