FINAL DRAFT: Final Draft dictionary

[Randall_Oelerich]

Anybody know of a way to add an external dictionary to that built into Final Draft (I have version 8). I continue to be frustrated at the appalling lack of common words in the FD default dictionary. FD marks any sort of swear word as misspelled, and even common words are often unknown to its dictionary, e.g. bathtub. For a version 8 of a widely used screenwriting software program, I would think the company behind FD would get their act in order as far as their dictionary.

This is why I only use Final Draft, literally, for exporting my final draft to standardize its length.

I just contacted FD tech support on this issue, even gave them a link to this discussion thread. Let's see if they respond, and hopefully with a solution. It would certainly be nice to be able to add additional open source dictionaries of some sort to FD to expand the embedded but inadequate FD dictionary.
