Red Squiggles
The google chrome browser has a built in spell checker. When you are filling in a form and type a word that chrome does not recognize, it will underline it with a red squiggly line. Listed here are a number of words I have found that chrome does not recognize, but are in fact real words and curiously are even recognized by the google search engine. I have not done any research or datamining for this, I've just written the words down as I encounter them through normal usage.
Perhaps a poem could be written using only these words.

3 As in no-brainer.
* Fixed at some point after being added to this list.

Chrome in general seems to be a curious thing.

So I wasn't crazy at all. Most words in Dutch are also not recognized by the spell checker but in the search engine it is..
