Naval and Navel.

Put it on the list with throes vs throws and jibe and jive.
 
Spell check won't pick those up. They are word choice errors -- contextual.

I think the doctor meant our spell check, not Word's. :D

I suppose the best thing to do would be to remove those words from the spell checker altogether. That way, one would have to double-check every time, just to be sure.
 
That jes don't jibe wit the jive in my navel! Puts me in the throes of throwing that lint over the stern (speaking in naval terms).

Isn't there a way to add them to the grammar check so its varifies?

I thought I did that at one point years ago ... can't remeber if it was word, but I was writing a paper about someone but I had 2 words that were variations in my bad typing and I had it set to cue me on grammar check with 'did you mean ______'
