878621 - Add "cul-de-sac" to spell-checker dictionary

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Spelling checker, defect)

Description

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

STR:
 1. Visit e.g. http://www.pastebin.mozilla.org/ and type "cul-de-sac" into the text area.

ACTUAL RESULTS: Squiggly red underline. (flagged as misspelled)
EXPECTED RESULTS: No squiggly red underline, because it's spelled correctly.

This is a legit US English word for a type of dead-end street:

For anyone who's interested in working on this, bug 704394 should be useful as a template for what needs to be patched (assuming nothing has changed drastically in spellchecker-land).

...and that bug also has a handy link to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Adding_a_new_word_to_the_en-US_dictionary which has steps for how to add words to our spellchecker dictionary.
