Reproducible in all fields that do autocorrect.
Sound like an autocorrect problem. Not sure if I got the right category.

Thanks, Dave.

In our english wordlist "OS" is listed as a profane word, so we never suggest it. "os" is a common typo for "is" so it is pretty reasonable to do that correction. If typed in all uppercase, though we shouldn't make the correction.

It sounds like we might have to fix this in the wordlist. And while we're at it, we should probably add "FirefoxOS" as a word in all the dictionaries.

This is related to bug 1167664 where "jam" autocorrects to "ham" because (in part) of a bug in the source android wordlist.

I think the upshot is that we're going to have to bite the bullet and edit the word lists, maybe trying to upstream our changes to AOSP.

Leaving the needinfo set on myself so I don't forget about this.  Not actually taking it right now because I'm going to be on vacation and can't work on it for at least a few weeks.
