Steps to reproduce:

Type in, "unintuitive," into a text entry box.

Actual results:

Red underline. This is only my most recent example of what occurs frequently. Please look into getting a dictionary that is a bit more comprehensive.

Expected results:

The dictionary should contain a larger subset of English vocabulary.
