I have gotten a chuckle from some of the words marked as misspelled by the UR dictionary. I work for an agency that deals with sexual abuse issues, so the word “sex” appears frequently in the copy I capture and write in UR, but UR’s dictionary doesn’t recognize that word. For another project, I used the term erection as in “erection of signs,” and it didn’t like that word either.

No problem, of course, as I can add whatever terms I want to my custom dictionary, but come on, these are hardly offensive words!
