Last week, while writing my blog, I was "spell checked" several times. I can understand Spell check not recognizing foreign words such as borlotti, or unusual words like polysemic, asudden,rupestrian, and oscitancy, but pepperoncini and Facebook?
I quoted my brother using the word "odonym". Spell check does not recognize the word. I was certain of the spelling, but I still diligently checked my OED just to make sure!
Also curious: it does NOT recognize "Barack" but it DOES recognize "Obama"!
