Meanwhile I have the opposite problem. I've read way too many books and run into issues with spellcheck telling me I spelled a word wrong, have to look it up, and find out that I spelled it correctly.
Instead, the in-built dictionary the spellcheck is using doesn't have the word. Which is bizarre considering the damned thing has more memory for words than exists in all languages. I then have to double-check the spelling and have to add the word to the spell-check dictionary.
This could be attributed laziness in programming brought about via diversity hiring, or it could be done on purpose to limit the words available to people trying to think their way out of the communist propaganda box.
