There maybe more. American english variants tend to drop the hyphen in these words. See the traditional Oxford English dictionary for example.


That said, contrarian, and misdemeanour should be there. And shambolic appears to be more British slang that is not found in most US wordlists.
Nightlife and fundraiser are in the Cambridge UK Dictionary. Agreed perhaps cofounder might be an Americanisation but the others are all UK variants.

I note that Firefox (with UK dictionary installed) also flags them as misspelled so it's not just a Sigil problem.

Can you add a whole dictionary to Sigil or is it just on a word-by-word basis?
