Google Docs, You Are Epic.

So I'm writing a fanfic, expecting to have to add a lot of words to the dictionary. Not so. According to Google Documents, Skyrim, Cyrodiil, Elsweyr and Valenwood are all English words. My spell check is, in fact, on.

It could be that Google Docs recognizes randomly capitalized words as proper nouns. What if you type, "I went to Lalaland last weekend."? Or maybe it keeps track of words that are added to the dictionary, and after so many times it just adds it to the default one.

Okay, it seems like words with enough vowels in teh right places are counted as proper words. Lysaldaniag, for example, is an English word according to GD.
