Ridiculous Words Lacking from the Google Chrome Dictionary
-
I think that I was brought up on amongst. It sounds so natural to me. I couldn't believe that the dictionary on FF didn't have it.
-
@scottalanmiller Hence the reason it wound up o nthe Ridiculous Words Missing list, lol.

@scottalanmiller Correct usage in a sentence? When would you use amongst instead of among?
Australian use of the word
Let's get amongst it! -
How does one use that in context?
-
Did anyone else read this thread and immediately think of Blackadder? Blackadder
-
FF: polenta
-
Canadian
FF has it, Chrome did not!!
-
Not sure if this was added yet... unassociated
-
That's a pretty rare one. Several dictionaries don't even have it, oddly enough.
-
Unrefrigerated
Seriously? Oh well, I guess everything at Google must refrigerated regardless of requirements. -
Virtualization and hypervisor
Of course I've added these to my local dictionary, but still...
-
"Hypervisor" is one of those somewhat ridiculous tech words that I'm happy to be able to say in serious, real life situations.
It sounds like something out of a 90's sci-fi movie.

habanero on FF
-
@scottalanmiller It doesn't try to pick up the n with the ~ on it (How do you even type that on an English Windows machine?)... habañero ? (the ñ is alt, 164).
-
I looked for that, it didn't.

Chrome doesn't have it either... it tries correcting it to haberdasher, which I don't think is really used much anymore.
-
Same word that FF tried to make it. Which do you think is more common?

I've never heard haberdasher used in modern English, mostly literature from the late 1800's early 1900's. I don't know if Men's fashion stores really still exist in that form anymore?

"Haberdasher" is only used in comedy anymore... pretty sure Family Guy put it in somewhere, and I remember a sketch from the 90s that used it (probably Mr Show).
