That's because it's spelled 'bizarre'.

There was once a time when doughnut was not in the Firefox dictionary, and it claimed that donut was the correct spelling. It appears as though it has been reversed, though.

Jabberwocky....I need to use this word on a daily basis.

Okay.

Before I added it to my dictionary, it told me the correct spelling was, "OK." Seriously. That's what it told me. Stupid dictionary.
11-01-2008, 05:28 PM

Mine works the opposite way.

Okay is ok.

Grey.

It also tells me grey is not a word. I can't believe I missed that one.

Only one hell?

I saw a Kikkoman's soy sauce commercial a couple days ago that was playing on the word. Apparently they came up with it last year. I can't find a single article dated before 2007 which uses the word.

Yeah. It's fairly new. Unlike grey and okay, which have been around longer than the internet. There's no excuse for them not to be in the Firefox dictionary.

Yeah, only one hell. It wasn't that bad of a conversation. Before it went down the pooper, I mean, of course.

The soy sauce commercial's been around for a while. It's the only reference I've heard to umami outside of Japanese class. As for something like grey/gray or okay/OK, I think it depends on the person's personal preference for spelling things. Like, I prefer gray and okay, for example. Doesn't mean grey and OK are wrong; grey is just an alternate spelling for gray that people have learned to recognize and accept as just that, and OK is an abbreviation.

Not saying they "shouldn't" be in there necessarily, but I can understand both sides of the argument. Still, for me, umami deserves to be in Firefox's dictionary.

Grey and gray are both correct spellings of the word. You're right about that one, but OK is not a valid word. If it were, it would be pronounced, "ock." OK is just to lazy typists as K-9 is to the police when they want to name their dogs something, in their opinions, cool. It's not a word, but rather a really weird abbreviation.

If you're going to make OK a word, it begins a slippery slope where, somewhere along the way, okie dokie becomes a word.

According to Firefox it's already a word, so it looks like that slippery slope has begun! :jess:

Actually, just found this:
The Straight Dope: What does "OK" stand for?
It basically says that one theory of where OK comes from stands for "oll korrect ... the result of a fad for comical abbreviations that flourished in the late 1830s and 1840s." There's a bunch of different stuff on there to explain it.

Actually, I kinda want "okie dokie" to become a real word/term. "Alrighty", too. Then people can't make fun of me when I say them:D

teleportation

teleport

blooter

Apparently not. There are red lines underneath the above words.

How long has that word been around, I wonder?

Which one? Teleport or blooter?

teleport. I didn't know blooter was a word.
11-03-2008, 06:47 AM

Blooter.

Apparently teleport isn't a word.

But teleportation is. Go figure.

Now, why do you insist that 'blooter' is a word when earlier you refused to accept that the word 'umami' was an actual word? It's right here on that site you linked to. :p

It would be so much easier if we all used the same dictionary...
I personally prefer Wiktionary. It's pretty much awesome.

Because my brother told me about that website after I left the thread. What was I going to do? Go back to it? I said I wouldn't.

Again, even before I left the thread, I conceded that umami may be a word, but no one ever pays attention when I admit I'm wrong lest they have to admit they're wrong about me.

Besides, umami has been in the English language for less than two years.

Because, if anyone can edit it, it's the only way to keep it accurate. AllWords has every word in the English language in its database, as well as a few other languages. If it's a word, it'll be there.

Although technically it's Spanish, "quesadilla" should be in Firefox's dictionary, but it isn't.

*adds*

EDIT: Taco, jalapeno, burrito and fajita are all in the dictionary. It's a conspiracy, I tells ya!

You've already pointed out yourself that it doesn't.
Wiktionary beats AllWords there, doesn't it?
Heck, dictionary.com is easy enough to remember and appears to have AllWords beat.

And as far as other languages go... AllWords has nothing on Wiktionary.

Technically, it does:

The definition just has been removed. Perhaps by a glitch. As far as a wiki site goes, if I had no life, I could go in there and make up fifty words, add their definitions, and then they'd be there.

If there's one rule on the internet, it's never trust a wiki, as Stephen Colbert has proven on many occasions.

I was taught that grey and gray had different meanings. Grey meant looming or dull, like a grey cliff. Gray was just a shade of white/black.

Oh well. :sad:
