How come those words are not considered to be spelled correctly or not considered words at all?
I say let us start a petition for Webster’s Dictionary or The Oxford Dictionary to amend this.
What makes you say they’re not? Just because they’re not in your spellchecker?
Chiff may be a recent, made-up word, but fipple’s been around for ages.
It’s certainly in the OED.
Well then petition spellcheck, it is just bothersome when it says a word you very well know to be a word and correctly spelled to be underlined in red.
I think you can just tell it to learn the word, so it won’t pester you next time.
Look. Spellcheck is geared for normal people. Normal people don’t use “chiff” or “fipple” in their sentences. Face it, The_Celtic_Bard: you’re not normal. None of us are. None.
True, thanks that means a lot to me
Good. Embrace your special place in life.
I’ll tell you, it gives me satisfaction to have things like Spellcheck red-line perfectly good words, and I’m like, Hah. Poor, ignorant Spellcheck. How beige your life must be.
HA!!
I feel better about the ignorance of spellcheck now.
Hey! I resemble that remark!
Be like the students in my College English classes. If spellcheck says the word is misspelled they just add it as is to the dictionary. No problem, no red stuff, and the language is enlarged.

Well, I’m routinely ordinary. Does that count?

Do we need a dictionary entry for Chiff or Fipple? Or “Chiff and Fipple”? Does anyone worry on this board that they’ll accidentally type “Chuff and Fopple”? Or “Piff and Tibble”?
I forgot. It’s not “Chiff and Fipple”. It’s “Chiff & Fipple.” Damn that ampersand!
Chips & Dipples
Fish & Chipples
Tits & Nipples
Darn, I never seem to get it right the first time …

You spelled it wrong-- it’s O - R - N - E - R - Y. No D.
I thought it was NoE 
My spellcheck isn’t beige…I have a Mac.
<snicker!>
Sure there is. Look closely: C.U.S.S.E.D.N.E.S.S.
See?
