That would be cool! What I've been doing with words like that, and with names, is add them to the dictionary. I validate with spell-check on, and when I come to a word that's indicated as being incorrect, I go to the spell-check, highlight the word, and add it to the dictionary. This is, of course, somewhat time-consuming. An English-language dictionary would be great.
