Scientific names for biological organisms missing from the Chrome dictionary

Reported by 93m4qau...@gmail.com, Feb 6 2018

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/66.0.3340.0 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Click on the commenting text box on this issue.
2. Type a scientific name of a biological organism into the text box (e.g. Oncorhynchus mykiss).

What is the expected behavior?
Scientific names for biological organisms are in the Chrome dictionary, so Oncorhynchus (a valid fish genus) and mykiss (a valid fish species, rainbow trout) are not considered misspelled words.

What went wrong?
Even though Oncorhynchus is a valid genus and mykiss is a valid species, Chrome considers them to be misspelled words unless you manually add them to the dictionary. This theoretically applies to any scientific names, not just Oncorhynchus mykiss.

Did this work before? No
