"echidna", "apnoea", etc marked as spelling error

Project Member Reported by amoylan@chromium.org, Jul 4 2017

Issue description

The word "echidna" is not marked as a spelling error on Linux but it is on Windows. (Not marked on Mac either but there we are using OS's dictionary I guess.)

Happens with en-AU or en-US spell checking. Maybe others.

Please see attached screen capture of cute animal names.

Summary: "echidna", "apnoea", etc marked as spelling error (was: "echidna" marked as spelling error on Windows)
Here's another one:

apnea
apnoea

both are marked as spelling errors.

This happens on Windows & Linux.

And echidna is also marked as a spelling error on Linux, not just Windows -- correcting the bug title.

From an internal report (b/73053323)

"Google Chrome's dictionary is not very extensive. I always add words to the personal dictionary but some of them are really well-known widely used words, e.g. impactful, parallelized, verifier, actioned, approvers, scalable, rollout, deprioritized."
