Why does Firefox still underline President Obama's name as a misspelling. I am really thinking about switching services because of this.
Firefox does not recognize the name of the current President of the United States of America's name as a valid spelling. Type in President Obama and Obama is underlined. It is underlined twice in my above details. I just checked and your suggestions for what I might have been trying to type are Obadiah, Obadias, Bamako, & Alabama. Are you trying to make a political statement by not recognizing his name? If this is not fixed in the next week I will no longer use your services and will start recommending that others do the same.

Mozilla doesn't maintain the spell check dictionary, it is an open source dictionary that is used by many programs.
Right-click the underlined word and use Add to dictionary to save it to the "personal dictionary" file in Firefox. That is a lot easier than making your own political statement, via asinine threats.
It is fixed in Firefox 4, but apparently not on the Firefox 3.6 branch if I compare the dictionaries. It is not fixed in the version on the Add-ons site as well (!).

the-edmeister,
I do not think that a demand that the President of the United States of America's name be added to the real dictionary and that is will stop using it and recommend other do the same as asinine threats. No matter your political views, respect is due to the President of the United States of America. He has been president for over two years. How long should it take to make a change like this. I should not have to add the Presidents name to my personal dictionary.
cor-el,
Thank you for your response. I will upgrade my service and let others know to do the same.
