Microsoft, please update your pseudepigraphal vocabulary

***Updated at the end***

I'm writing on 1 Enoch at the moment and Word is not being helpful.

Maccabean: suggest replacing with Macarena
Pseudepigrapha: no suggestions
pseudepigraphal: no suggestions
pseudepigraphon: no suggestions
intertestamental: no suggestions
Intertestamental: no suggestions
rabbinics: suggest replacing with rabbinic
pericope: suggest replacing with periscope
unfallen: suggest replacing with ungallant

Enochic: (the clear winner despite Macarena for Maccabean) suggest replacing with gnocchi, anarchic, or erotic.

If you like Dante and you like Tolkien you should read 1 Enoch. I suspect that maybe Tolkien did.


***Update***
Hasmoneans: suggest replacing with Tasmanians, Houstonians, Harmoniums. Really, what good is a spell checker that can't keep Hasmonians straight from Harmoniums?
