The random words we saved to our computer's dictionary

[rajillustration]

...we've all done it, we all got sick of the red line under all the invented words in our fiction and clicked "add to dictionary" so we'd never see that misspelling notification ever again.

So--what are the silliest fake words have you saved to your computer? Like I only realized you can access your custom libraries and see the words you've added in word or on Firefox over the years, (I had to get a new machine recently so unfortunately the weirdest word I have on there right now is when I must've misspelled "goign" and clicked "add to dictionary" instead of fixing it.) but got any good ones you've forgotten about?

I intentionally misspell "reptilian" as "Reptillian" when referring to a race in my comic. Autocorrect wants to murder me, so I save it as a word.

As well as Kéhuégonéa and a buncha words in the native tongue like Barkoré, Z'hue'égo, and Vun. Kéhuégonéans also add "-ie" to the ends of verbs to name their tools. For example, knives are "stabbies".

As you can probably guess, if I don't save these words Microsoft Word will have a stroke.

Literally any of the Dragonborn names for Dark Hope.

Ngduvot and Cupprnat are the only two we’ve seen so far, so that gives you an idea of the naming convention. Namely that I don’t f#cking have one.

I always add the names of my characters on my dictionary cause I hate seeing that red line as well. I also saved the words, Patreon, Omegaverse, for some reason the word favor cause MSword always wants me to change it into favour.

lol yes I would save it just so I wouldn't have to write accents. So, I'm just curious, how would you pronounce Kéhuégonéa? I only know Spanish and English, so I've never seen a word with multiple of the same accent in one word.

Pretty sure Kiwee just sneezed while typing and kept whatever came out.

• Name of some genera and scientific terms.
• Character names and fictional terms for my novel (for this one I don't write it on my computer, but it's saved on my GBoard suggestions).
• My own fucking name. Come on!

The é could be comparable to the accented e in the word "Pokémon". Not perfect but it's the best easy-to-find example I could think of off the top of my head. The "hu" and "é" make a sort of airy "hway" sound. Without the accent, it's phonetically comparable to "kay-hway-go-nay-uh".

It is made deliberately confusing to pronounce as a bit if a running gag in the comic. The native tongue has no long "ee" sound, so words get a little funky. Everyone just calls it "Kiwigonia" lol

[Kiweevil]

Lmaoooo you caught me, sneezing is my real naming convention. Instead of saying "A-choo" I say "A-lise" 🤣

Ah ok, I figured maybe it was slightly unpronounceable since they're not human.

[Kiweevil]

Yeah their whole language sounds like Gaelic had a lovechild with Māori and then threw it into a blender, then took said blended product and fed it to bear.

It's meant to be pretty incomprehensible. But I gave it the same sentence structure as Spanish because it's the only other language aside from English (and a minuscule amount of Japanese) that I know anything about lmaooo

Yeah but no the point still stands, Microsoft Word hates me 🤣

[DualDragons]

I got sick of my computer correcting my very own name and last name, so I forced the thing to remember it. I'm not a mistake, Word.

[teasidesketches]

I'm in the same boat as DualDragons; my computer refuses to acknowledge my (admittedly, very ridiculous) surname and foreign first name, so I just... forced it to remember. That'll teach you, word processor!

Of course, on the same note, I also need to save a bunch of character and location names so it stops giving me red squiggles every time.
