936848 - Add "DVR" & "DRM" to en-US spell check dictionary

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Spelling checker, defect)

Description

[Dave Garrett]

The English spell checking dictionary currently has "DVD" (Digital Video Disk) however it does not have "DVR" (Digital Video Recorder) or "DRM" (Digital Rights/Restrictions Management). Please add "DVR" and "DRM" to the dictionary.

I am specifically filing this because my mother got confused and asked me if a DVR was called a DVD, because the former gets labeled as not valid by the spell checker and the later does not. They're similar abbreviations with similar meanings (both different digital video recordings) so I see how this could get mixed up. Both should be in the dictionary if one is.

I'm also suggesting DRM with it just because it occurred to me to check for it at the same time.

See <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Adding_a_new_word_to_the_en-US_dictionary> for how to do this.

I snuck in "millennia" as well.

DVR can be pluralized to DVRs in the same way that DVD can be pluralized to DVDs, the latter of which is in there.
