... because that is the only correct spelling of 'piecewise' in English...

Butu I see Duncan Murdoch has explained why it was flagged; not all English 
words appear in all English dictionaries.

In fact, not all English words appear in _any_ English dictionary. Even the OED 
does not claim to have much more than two thirds (175k out of at least 250k) 
(https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/explore/how-many-words-are-there-in-the-english-language
 ) and that is not even a fifth of the Global Language Monitor estimate 
(http://www.languagemonitor.com/number-of-words/number-of-words-in-the-english-language-1008879/).
