Off topic, but it did originate with AppleScript.
(and it may be interesting)
Yesterday, while editing the documentation for Script Bundle Tool, I used the word "uneditable" in TextEdit.
Spell Checking flagged the word as misspelled. I looked up the word in Dictionary, which asked if I meant "uneatable" or "uneducable". No, I wanted to verify the spelling of "uneditable", but it wasn't in the dictionary.
I went on-line and looked up "uneditable" in about half-dozen dictionaries, but none knew this word! I tried another half-dozen dictionaries with the same result. Mmmmmm!
So, I Googled "uneditable". I found lots of documents using "uneditable" and it means exactly what you and I think it means. It's a very precise common word.
Now, how do I "bug report" a missing word?
