Ridiculous Words Lacking from the Google Chrome Dictionary
-
I am often downright shocked by the common words that are missing from the dictionary. It often makes me question my ability to spell and then I realize that Google isn't even aware of common English.
So I figured we should have a thread to talk about the silly words that are missing.
Easy first ones: virtualization and virtualize

And, of course....

I'll pay more attention from now on to the exacts, thanks to this thread. The biggest one for me is always "remoted".

These both seem to be words I use a lot... and Chrome throws a fit every time. I've added them both to dictionary now.

That one, at least, is a less common and new word. No one said "remoted" in, say, the 1970s. But yes, it is missing and I just added it too.

The Latin plural of virus: viri.

It has inefficiencies but lacks efficiencies. What the crap, Google?

I've always suspected that they were lacking certain efficiencies.

Got another one... natively.

I don't blame Google for not having this one but it needs to be added: performant

And, of course moreso and lessso.
-
And Google lacks the proper plural spelling of formula: formulæ
-
I think that Google skips ALL proper ash tree use spellings and only, sometimes, uses the expanded ae double characters instead

When you can't find somcthing obivous (with big words), speel it incorectly for more reults.

That is a seriously old word... I mean electrical engineering has been using it since the early 1900's not to mention the uses for it prior to that. Odd that the Chrome dictionary doesn't have it.
I find it annoying when the English spelling is right and the American spelling isn't.

It seems to be my wont in life to be forever using archaic word forms.

Hypervisor and the plural hypervisors.

How about miscommunicating.
