Memo to LinkedIn Developers: Please update your (English) Vocabulary

I've been direct-messaging some friends. Sometimes, I type "immunossuppresion" and the automated spell-checker from LinkedIn underlines it in red. As if I made a mistake. No, dear automated services programmed by people, "immunossuppresion" is a word. As is "immunossuppresant".

And while you're updating your (English) vocabulary, please add "COVID-19", "COVID19", "SARS-CoV-2" and variations. Most of us have been typing these words recently. Yet, the LinkedIn spell checker flags them as an error.

Many immunossuppresants are being considered for COVID19. Most of us would feel more comfortable not having to double-check our spelling. As the world is changing, so does our list of "frequently used words". Time to update that spell checker.
