    I’ve been having this issue for a while now, across multiple computers, where Firefox flags random words as incorrect. I usually notice it happen when it’s a newer word, like Scalability for example, but I brush it off since it’s not too common. I’ve been increasingly noticing that it happens to words that are variants of the root word, and I just saw it happen again with Amongst

    I know it’s set to the correct dictionary of Canadian English, since colour isn’t underlined but color is, yet I’m at a loss trying to figure out what sort of Canadian English dictionary could possibly not include words like amongst.

    I’m sure there’s a ton more than I see these days too, since I’ve been clicking “Add to Dictionary” for years now after Googling to confirm I’m being gaslit by autocorrect. Who knows how many words are self-additions and not natively recognized (and would you look at that, “natively” is not a word either apparently!)

    It’s some setting I must have screwed with that’s causing it, right? How do I fix this?
