An Observation Which Cannot Possibly Be Original with Me

Why does Livejournal's spelling checker object to the word "Livejournal?" Is "Livejournal"not the correctly-spelled name of Livejournal?

My understanding of the explanation at the time they started offering spell check is that they bought or otherwise acquired but did not write the spellcheck system, and cannot edit the dictionary.

The spell check is just overall bad. It flags fragments of contractions as unknown. Placing punctuation next to a word confuses it.

This probably explains why so many people seem to not use it.

I'm... uh... pretty sure people wouldn't use it in any case. :)
