This reminds me that I I recently put the following on Facebook and the spell checker there flagged all three words:
SQUIRRELLED: The longest monosyllabic English word.ABSTENTIOUS: The longest word to use all five vowels in order, exactly once.ROTAVATOR: The longest non-coined palindrome.
All your spelling checker can do is tell you that a word isn’t in its dictionary. That doesn’t mean that it’s wrong, just that the program doesn’t recognize it. And, for that matter, it can’t tell you that you’ve used the wrong word (e.g., used their instead of there) if it’s spelled correctly.

Spell Check is no substitute for learning how to spell.
