(Core :: Spelling checker, defect)

The spelling checker in Firefox 2.0 accepts "Archaeologist" and  "archaeological" but flags "archaeology" as misspelled.  It will accept "archeology" but not "archeologist" or "archeological".  Either variant is OK according to the American Heritage Dictionary, but consistency would be nice.

Reproducible: Always




The hint for the Core/Spelling Checker component says "For bugs with the spelling checker used by Thunderbird and Seamonkey." but there's no spelling component listed for Firefox. Is this the place to report Firefox spelling bugs?
