Spellcheck dictionary, that is.
So, do you get tired of seeing that red squiggle under words that you know are spelled right? Or do you just ignore it?

I've added Pokemon and names/nicknames of my friends. Like Odam, Nica, etc.
And I've added contractions in FireFox since it thinks those are spelled wrong.

Yes, I add words like 'Pokémon' and 'online' which are valid expressions but aren't recognised by Firefox's EN-GB dictionary. I think I shall start to add Pokémon species names soon. =3

(Interestingly, 'Firefox' is not in my Firefox dictionary. xD)

Those red squiggly thingers annoy me so much so yeah I do. 8>

i wanna be the wind that fills your sails,
& be the hand that lifts your veil.
& be the moon that moves your tide,
the sun coming up in your eyes.
be the wheels that never rust,
& be the spark that lights you up.
all that you've been dreaming of and more,
so much more, i wanna be your everything.. <3

paired with alternative <3

Pokémon names and usernames of people I talk to, mainly.
'It's been a prevalent notion. Fallen sparks. Fragments of vessels broken at the Creation. And someday, somehow, before the end, a gathering back to home. A messenger from the Kingdom, arriving at the last moment. But I tell you there is no such message, no such home -- only the millions of last moments . . . nothing more. Our history is an aggregate of last moments.'

Google Chrome despises my fictional names. I really hate it.

So, I just add them to its dictionary of course. I also add the Pokemon names as I post them so it doesn't annoy me.

But what really annoys me is those red lines on words that are kinda stupid to miss. I've encountered a few of those.

I'm still lol'ing that Google does not accept Nica.

Unless it's the european/american spelling of a word, I usually don't add words to mine. Oddly though, Pokémon was already a word in my spellsheck.

i've pretty much just given up at this point. too many pokemon names that i have used. and the language just changes too much.
