Dictionary of Pages is awful

There are several words missing in the dictionary and there is no option to add words. I wonder why the pages dictionary is not linked to some authentic dictionary. For instance, Xenocentrism is a word that occurs in most dictionaries except Apple.

I cant seem to get over this.

What version of OSX / macOS? (Apple menu > About this Mac)

What version of Pages? (Pages menu > About Pages)


My (probably earlier) version does not include "Xenocentrism" in its spelling dictionary, but does present this menu when I control-click on the word:



Clicking Learn Spelling adds that word—spelled as entered—to the spelling dictionary.

Barry
