Modern browsers' spell-check is retarded.

It doesn't recognize the words "catalogue" or "faux".

These are only two of several words I know I've seen underlined, despite being correct. Unfortunately I never bothered to make a note of them until now.

Anyone got any other words?

A little red line appears under words that are supposedly spelled incorrectly.

If the forum doesn't dictate this, what does? It's the same in all of my browsers.

That's... because it's built in to most modern browsers...

Yeah, modern browsers either come with them or have the ability to install them.

Then I shall update the title and subject matter of this blog.

Edit: Done. Now rescind your facepalm, Havoc, for there is no facepalm big enough for your existence as a whole.

You know I love you.

I deem these facepalms to be appropriate.

Hah, Sekto Springs! I beat you to it!

Well specifically I refer to Chrome, but yeah.

I can't give you a reason for faux, but catalogue is an alternate spelling. Like color and colour, or favorite and favourite.

Wow, DH. At least I know someone is as outraged as I am!

Doesn't recognize those either. Or theatre, or criminalization, or milktoast or...

Fuck...

Dropped my thesaurus.

Yes, I do know that.

That's an amazing word.

Isn't it!?
Amazing is the prerequisite for most words my browser doesn't recognize.

Oddly enough, it does recognize it's close cousin "milksop".

Back in the old days, we didn't have spell checking in browsers. Everyone wrote retardedly but without reference no-one knew it. Those were the days.

Like when you used to use "or" instead of "if"... But I guess spell checkers wouldn't have helped that.

I think you mean 'milquetoast'. Which is an awesome word.

Both spellings are acceptable according to the online dictionary, but for once my browser recognizes the fancier version.

Why would you even want to spell it milktoast when you've seen the alternative?
