Can we please have "teabagger" and "teabaggers" added to the spell-check dictionary?
They are NOT a political party. They are a faction of the GOP (and perhaps the controlling faction). They are the only correct terms to use when referencing them (and in lower case - they don't deserve the proper noun treatment).

Please?

1. I'll alert Elad to this
and ask him to add those words.

4. Perhaps post #3 was premature. The spellchecker still balks at both words.
They are used so often on DU that they really do belong in the dictionary. Did I screw up or something?

5. It works for me.
Are you sure it's not your browser's spellcheck that is balking at the words?

6. Um, not entirely. Spell check doesn't work in the subject line but does in the body.
It hadn't occurred to me. Okay, I just typed both, right clicked and hit "Add to Dictionary". Shit. I just figured it was DU's dictionary. That's pretty pathetic for a 35 year veteran in computers.

:cry:
