It appears the word/verb “Refactor” is absent “out of the box” from all if not most of the environments that provide a spell checker service or feature.  At least the ones I’ve used lately and since I started to notice.  From (this) Live Writer to Word to within the browser on the update textbox of twitter, you name it, I keep having to “right click, Add to Dictionary”.

Wikipedia does have an article for the term “Refactoring”, and so does Dictionary.com but the “verb” Refactor is not on either (Wikipedia redirects to Refactoring) and Merriam-Webster comes up empty when searching for either.

Is there a way to carry around one’s dictionary from environment to environment and use it on all if not most of the aforementioned tools? 

I guess I have to do a little bit of research, and no I won’t hold the post until I do.  I’d rather note my observation and I *should* then later do the legwork and update with my findings.  I reserve the right to slack on such task, do nothing and instead keep “right clicking, Adding to Dictionary” as I go.

I have many times realized I do have plenty of bad habits, but until recently I hadn't been able to properly name them... I give you Max Pool's Post on Refactorbation

Sadly enough, this fits me to a tee (sometimes....hmmm... most times).  The good thing is that it is commonly agreed that the first step in the road to recovery is admitting one has a "problem"... I will try to get better at leaving "old, crappy code as-is", as long as it works... right?
