Even worse ... I checked the long list of First names that MySpell has that hunspell does not into Apple's Pages app and checked them and most of them are actually marked as correct based on the official Apple spellchecker as built into Pages!

So it appears that people's first names are included in in many official spellcheckers.

So I am really at a loss here. Should they be kept or removed? They are not part of scowl but official Apple spellcheckers say they are okay. I wonder how platform specific spellchecking is. I do not have Word to compare it and LibreOffice uses hunspell.

Then of course, they are the differences in word lists attributed to urban slang. For example "zorch" or "zorched". I had to look thatone up and the only place I found itwas an "urban dictionary" and that is meant "ruined" or"burnt out" as in you "zorched your iphone".

Based on official commercial spellcheckers in Word and Pages, there are major differences. So spell checker dictionary building is quite subjective and so comparisons of "quality" are very hard to make. For example, if I am writing a formal document or dissertation, "zorch" should probably be marked wrong as it is just one character away from "porch". But if I am writing modern fiction, "zorch" being correct might be okay!
