Dear Paizo,
This is you're server, i would like you to add the following words to the spell checker, the word paizo included. Mithral, Adamantine, anything in the beastiary, beastiary, gish and so many more. i'm a terrible speller and i rely on that red wavy line to tell me if im an idiot or not and i really dont know if beastiary is a word or not.
I'm pretty sure that red wavy line comes from your browser, not Paizo's website. Are you using Firefox?
As far as I know it's spelled bestiary, however Paizo does spell mithral with an a instead of another i as in mithril. \o/ Also gish is just gamer slang. Anyway adamantine and mithril are mythical metals and so they aren't found in standard dictionaries. I don't know if there is a way to update firefox's dictionaries for gamer jargon but there probably is.
OH... yea sorry. i feel a little dumb but se la vi

If Tolkein's mithril was trademarked, I wonder why RPGs bothered to change the spelling?
From Wikipedia:
In popular culture
The term Mithril has entered popular culture in various other aspects. There are a number of enterprises that use "Mithril" in their names and it is widely used in the fantasy genre.
[edit] Other fictional contexts
The name mithril or similarly spelled variations (mithral, mythril, and others) is present in other fictional contexts like roleplaying games, since the Tolkien Estate did not trademark the term. One early example is Dungeons & Dragons most notably the Forgotten Realms setting.
Using "mithral" dates back at least to D&D 3.0.
I always remember it as "your pal, mithral."
But call it what you want, it's your campaign. :)
Just punch yourself in the teeth and try and say missile. That's what I always do.
Before 3rd Edition:
"Mithral" was used in Supplement I: Greyhawk (once), AD&D 1st Edition DMG (twice), AD&D 1st Edition Monster Manual (once), AD&D 1st Edition Unearthed Arcana (five times), AD&D 2nd Edition PHB (once), AD&D 2nd Edition DMG (once), and AD&D 2nd Edition Monstrous Manual (once).
"Mithril" was used in Supplement IV: Gods, Demi-Gods and Heroes (twice), the AD&D 1st Edition PHB (once), AD&D 1st Edition Unearthed Arcana (once), and AD&D 2nd Edition Monstrous Manual (once).
Neither version appears in the Holmes Basic Set or the Rules Cyclopedia.
The red wavy spell-check line is a Firefox thing as said above. After you type, just right-click on a "misspelled" word, like paizo, and then click "add to dictionary".
