There is a large list of words in the previous bug, but I'd like to focus with everyday cases first. Here's one way to help: - Use Nightly, so you have the latest version of the dictionary (the dictionary from bug 1808872 should be in tomorrow's Nightly) - Check your personal dictionary, i.e. misspelled words that you have added to dictionary over time. Open `about:profiles`, identify your current profile and click the button to open the root folder. Inside the profile folder, there is a `persdict.dat` file (that's a text file with the words you added). - Make a copy of `persdict.dat` and empty the original file, so you will rely only on the built-in dictionary (without your exceptions). - Open the copy in a text editor, and copy the list of words in the clipboard. – Paste the list in a comment. Then remove words that are not relevant (overly specific, known misspelling, embarrassing topics, etc.), and the ones that are not marked as an error by the dictionary. If you can find definitions online (e.g. Oxford or Merriam-Webster) to confirm that spelling, even better. - Restore the original persdict.dat (or an edited version without the words that are now covered by the updated built-in dictionary).
