So... what's *really* needed is an improved dictionary?

In 2026 I really should *NOT* have to add the word "ethernet" to the
spell-checking dictionary on a computer, though I'm far more forgiving
about things like "blogging" or "Facebook" not being in a dictionary.

But much worse, I should not have to add words like the following to a
dictionary, but I have had to:

didn't
don't
I'm
isn't
that's
they're
they've

Either the dictionary is sore-lacking in normal words, or programs are
mishandling data during their checks.
