480295 - Thunderbird spell checker wrongly thinks mementoes should be spelled "momentoes".

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Spelling checker, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009011913 Firefox/3.0.6
Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.19 (20081209)

Enter an email using the word "mementoes" (the correct English spelling) and Thunderbird will insist it's a typo until you "correct" it to its preferred "momentoes". Somewhere out there, there's a diligent little data entry person who said, "no, that can't be right", and changed it in the dictionary without authority (I hope ...).

[Otherwise, gang, great product!]

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. see above
2. see step 1
3.
Actual Results:  
Thunderbird underlines "mementoes" with a red line. When you change the word to "momentoes" and move the cursor away from the word, the red line goes away.

Expected Results:  
Thunderbird should know that my spelling is always impeccable and that if there's any doubt about whether it's me or Thunderbird that's wrong, it's almost certainly Thunderbird ...
