      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 😛

                    Might be a 'dirty' fish,.. but it is a robust fish that is farmed in many Hydro and Aquaponic systems.

                                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...)

                                        8-) Emphasis mine.
