Great suggestion and works a treat, thanks!

@josebastian
Thanks! It's now gone away all by itself ot perhaps an update.

@gmiazga
It's back again:
"Today Opera OPRDesktop 28.0 core 1750.0, May 25, 2022. Active patches: 21"

I'm having constant crashing in Opera and GX and since I can't access sync due to the crashes, I'll back up, uninstall and then reinstall.
I'm only going to restore the bookmarks and leave sync off for now.

I run Opera on three Windows PCs and it crashes constantly on all three recently, several times per day and has become very annoying.
On two of the PCs I've delayed Windows update because of the recent problems with the Fall rollout mess up, so I don't understand what''s going on here.
This is my favourite browser by a clean mile so I hope it can be fixed.
Edit
I uninstalled, then reinstalled so my version is current
Version:56.0.3051.52
Opera is up to date

Again, I'm not referring to UK/US English differences at all, but common or garden words that get highlighted in red squiggles in Opera that don't in Chrome.
For example immersive, USB, screenshot,Nvidia,app, AGP etc etc which then have to be added to the dictionary...head-scratch.
Write those exact same words in Chrome and they're accepted without a blink as I'm assuming that the Chrome dictionary is bang up to date on modern usage.
Do I meed to add anything to Opera is the question.

It's not the UK English/US English thing, I'm getting the most mundane of words being highlighted and not recognised.
With Chrome I hardly ever have to add anything to the dictionary as it is so up to date it even recognises many modern colloquialisms.
I moved over to Opera for bookmarks, speed dials and the fact that it's much less resource hungry than Chrome, but frankly the dictionary is years old and needs some serious updating.
Thanks for your reply anyway.

I'm a big fan of Opera and have been using it for a year or two now. When I installed it I was under the impression that it used the same dictionary as Google Chrome, but that doesn't appear to be the case.
I find it hard to believe that it can't recognise so many words (immersive,humorous,outrageous etc etc) when I'm writing an article and I often have to change to Chrome solely for that very reason.
Can anyone please recommend a dictionary extension that works as well as the built-in one in Chrome?
Not a deal buster, but it's pretty irritating nonetheless.
