Ridiculous Words Lacking from the Google Chrome Dictionary
-
That has got to be one of the biggest dictionary gaffs ever.
-
Seriously, that's a dead common word.
-
The only way to top that would to be missing the word "the".
I mean come on, "sorority girls something something"; sorority is an extremely common word...
-
I'm shocked that gaff is in there.
-
Chrome did had gaff (although I could've added it at some time lol...)

Is fraternity in there?
-
fraternity: Yes for chrome

@DustinB3403 Yep, using Chrome right now with French dictionary selected, all these words are red, except "beaucoup" and actually Chrome.
I still like how meta my post is, if I may pat myself on the back

Firefox has amongst, thankfully.

I'm curious if google crawls this page, and starts adding words that we find missing...
Would be extremely interesting to know.

In Chrome's defence, I'd forgotten to tick the "Use this language for spell checking" in the Languages settings... after having an alternative to the default language installed for, well, ever sigh -

Most of the time "among" is used in American dictionaries and "amongst" in British dictionaries, though some allow both, depending on the software you can end up with either depending on your region/language settings.
