I simply want to see the word "zealand", as in New Zealand" included in the U.S. English spell checker. I know its not a big country but as I use it a great deal and it is the legitimate English spelling of a country it does not seem unreasonable for it to be included.

Mozilla doesn't maintain the spell check dictionary.

This would be the group to ask about that. http://hunspell.sourceforge.net/

You can add your own words to the file persdict.dat via the right-click context menu: Add to Dictionary

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Spell_checking and How do I use the Firefox spell checker?
