spell checker misspells "sabre" as "saber"

Reproducible: Always

I think this would be expected unless you are using the en-GB (British) dictionary. A workaround is just to add the word to your personal dictionary.

Both forms are acceptable according to http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sabre

And 'Sabre' is currently in the dictionary but 'sabre' is not. 

I'll add this to the dictionary patch.
