Hi All,

Not sure who is responsible for dictionary additions but a user has pointed
out that Mitt Romney's name is in our dictionary but Obama comes out
underlined. This is probably no good and could be interpreted (incorrectly)
as a subliminal message by our team ;)


Regards,

clearly unintentional.

basically the problem is that Barack Obama, though American, has a non-american name and surname (originally from his father from Kenya) that's why it's not included by default in the US dictionary.

if Barack Obama had italo-american origin and was called Matteo Rossi you would see again red underline from the spell-checker.
