Yeah, like "color" and "favor."

Does your spell checker contain *all* mechanical and engineering terms that
are not in regular dictionaries? When I worked on mining documents, I came
across industry-specific terms that the Word spell checker did not
recognize.

I want to find a collection of dictionaries (.dic text files) that catalog
words from different industries, like engineering.dic, mining.dic,
philosophy.dic, and law.dic. That would be cool.
