TIL what an initialism is and how it differs from an acronym :)

Funnily enough, Chrome is flagging it as a misspelled word, but googling for it brought up its definition in Google's usual definition box.

Try turning on "Ask Google for Suggestions". That should do the trick.

Normal spellcheck is a dictionary. "Ask" is server-side magic that is context-aware and goes beyond dictionaries. After turning it on, try "icland is an icland" to be amused. Or "Brittaney Spears".

I normally don't go on about this, but since this thread is about TILs... :)

I'd suggest google dictionary plugin. Double click on anything on the page and you get the definition as a small popup/tool-tip. That's how even I learned what Initialism is.
