Ridiculous Words Lacking from the Google Chrome Dictionary

Word building follows rules and certain structures. Surely they could program something to follow the rules and create every possible combination of words that are current/past.

Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of the spellchecker? You'd get every option for every word, which is not what people want. They want a subset of spellings considered "correct" for their own usage. Not past spellings or words spelled on rules.

Nope, not if you add some kind of contextual awareness, a bit of NSA and a few priacy policies.

Yeah, it might not be as awesome as described, but your milage may vary

Did you check to see if the americanized misspelling 'tiliapa' is in there? Or 'chipolte'?

@RojoLoco I'm an American, and I've never seen tilapia spelled tiliapa 8-)... If you have, maybe there's a bunch of folks making a typo somewhere, lol.
I've seen Chipotle spelled both ways here... which one is right?

Well, I did grow up in Georgia, so I should have said Southern American...
and the correct spelling is chipotle. The 'tl' consonant cluster is indicative of the old Aztec Nahuatl language, before the influence of European Spanish.
(see, there's a 'tl' at the end of Nahuatl...) -
