What words do y'all regularly delete from your spell-checkers? And why?
My current list is ass (for me, it's usually a typo for "as"); fore (usually
for); form (from); ion (in or on, could be both in any given document);
reburied/reburies (for required/requires typos, it shows up first in the
alphabetical list of correctly-spelled words from which to choose); suer/s
(user/s).
