^ I think it's more likely an autism-aware user, who has over time added autism-related words to the local dictionary by correcting the browser showing an unknown word as miss-spelled. (right-click|add to dictionary on the word)

That for most of my life, I have flare-ups, 24/7, untreated, unmitigated, unavoidable, for the last 25 years.

That my chronic inability to rest and recover is my stupid sensitive immune system on top of hormones, not my neurodivergence.

That's not what I learned today.

Today I learned the level of stress my body is supposed to feel on a daily basis as opposed to whatever I've been "feeling" for the last 25+ years.

Today I learned that it's entirely possible for me to not get annoyed for an entire day.

Today I learned that it's also possible for me to not get weird tension headaches all day long after several hours.

Today I learned, that I was right for the 4th time. :lol: :lol: :lol:

When an unknown word is flagged by Firefox it assumes it's misspelled because it's not present in the Mozilla-sourced dictionary or the local dictionary.

This can be corrected by the user as described earlier, so the browser "learns" new, correctly spelled words and no longer flags them.

The local dictionary is a plain text file persdict.dat located in the user's Firefox profile, so it can be easily examined.

Yep - the Mozilla-sourced dictionary is immutable.

Around 90% of Canadians absolutely do not want to become the 51st state.

This is just a guess, but I think the other 10% are mostly in Alberta.

Lovely.

I believe the term for that 10% is Quisling.

Germany's now a poor country and their second most popular candidate wants to close the borders of that country.
