repro 26.2+

This is an interesting combination of complaints.
1.) Preprocessing is incorrectly marked as a wrongly spelled word. (OK)
2.) None of the suggests provides the correct spelling (HUH?)

If 'preprocessing' is not consider a correctly spelled word, then why in the world should the suggestion list provide the exact same word?

So this request then is simply to add "preprocessing" to the standard English dictionary as a recognized word.

Always search in my GitHub for missing words:

On 1-JAN-2026 I am planning to release new versions of American, Canadian, and Australian maintained by me.

So, stay tuned for 1-JAN.
