User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:40.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/40.0 Build ID: 20150812163655 Steps to reproduce: I typed the word "infeasible". Actual results: The spell checker added a red squiggly line under my word, and upon right-clicking on the word it suggested "unfeasible". Expected results: It should accept "infeasible", which is an English word in both US and GB dictionaries. It should reject "unfeasible", which is not a word in either dictionary.
Both are correct: http://www.economist.com/blogs/johnson/2012/07/variation

Great citation, thanks! The absence of "infeasible" in the en-us dictionary (and probably in the en-gb dict too) still stands as a bug IMO.

(I still don't think, maintaining dictionaries is a job for core developers.) In any case, "infeasibly" and "unfeasibly" should also be added.

The en-GB dictionary has: defeasible defeasibly feasible/PY feasibly/I indefeasible/Y infeasible unfeasible/Z As I said in bug 1144254 comment #9, I think it's a bad idea to use core developer time to maintain dictionaries. IMHO, like this, we will always deliver a substandard product.

Comparing to the en-US add-on dictionary (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/united-states-english-spellche/) (all searches are for "feasibl"): feasibleness/M feasible/UI feasibly/U indefeasible indefeasibly Mozilla version: feasible/U - patch adds /UI. feasibly indefeasible indefeasibly
