Description [REDACTED] 2017-05-02 09:36:33 UTC 
Description:
As of today, the noun "advisor" is valid according to the online dictionaries of Merriam-Webster, Oxford, and Cambridge. There are some semantic differences to "adviser" (which are off-topic here). Please add "advisor" to the US dictionary.
See https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1036799

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an empty document.
2. Write "advisor" and mark it as US English.
3. Run spellcheck.

Actual Results:  
The word is marked as unknown; "adviser" is suggested as a replacement.

Expected Results:
Spellchecking succeeds.


Reproducible: Always

This is not an easy hack.
Please report this to the dictionaries maintainer, see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Dictionaries

I've just asked Kevin Atkinson.
Comment 4 Adolfo Jayme Barrientos 2017-10-14 21:48:53 UTC 
The dictionary is maintained at https://github.com/en-wl/wordlist/issues, BTW. These issues are best handled there. Thanks for contacting the dictionary maintainer! Once a new dictionary version is released, we’ll update our copy.

Ok; cf. https://github.com/en-wl/wordlist/issues/200
