That shouldn't be a problem. Most people don't know where you live, and they lead perfectly productive, happy lives.

If they're to lazy to google in the first place a book with more than 1 page would probably be to complicated anyway.

"Immemorable" One wonders how many people ... who select to add this word to Chrome's vocabulary list ... it might take before the word becomes present, by default: that, of course, begs the question of whether Chrome at this time, tailors the default spelling vocabulary in the same way it tailors ad-content based on its wanna-be-Orwellian profiling apparatus.

"I keep asking for a product called Serendipity," he said, making up the name. "This product would have access to everything ever written or recorded, know everything the user ever worked on and saved to his or her personal hard drive, and know a whole lot about the user's tastes, friends and predilections."
quote from Eric Schmidt of Google. Or does the thought of something that will not be remembered, cannot be remembered, does not deserve to be remembered ... send a cold quantum willy reeking of fear-sweat-stink through the ghosts in the machine that haunt the cubicles of the micro-serfs exiled to work in the low-bandwidth wastelands of Alphabet's gulags (googlags ?) of mere vocabulary ?
Just as much of the genius of Homo Saps qua all-species-top-predator is in evolving to ignore reality [^ #1], will not the conscious machines just-around-the-digital-apocalypse's-fractal-corners also erase anything suggestive of extinction, impermanence, imperfection ... just as we do ?
Will not these "conscious agents composed of conscious agents" (op. cit., Hoffman) evolve like us, end up just like us, with no memory of the conscious agents that created them, and, in their simulated crowd-sourced loneliness assuage themselves with creating a creator, and a story of creation ?

Don't you ignore "alot", "anymore", "should of", etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc!
Every misspelling by every dumb American should be added to dictionaries, not just the ones you like!
BTW, the word is "forgettable", and there are multiple synonyms, if you need a little nuance.
If you really want to add a word to the dictionaries, try coming up with a good (pronounceable) translation for "orecchiabile" (IT) or "gezellig" (NL) -- y'now, words that don't already exist.

And, your point is ... other than you are scratching your head trying to think of ... something ... because something you can't articulate is making your head itch, and writing something distracts you from the itch ?
"Immemorable" is not mis-spelled; it's a kosher (you may need to know I am using "kosher" here in an ironically broad sense, lest you have another itching attack) word, even if its usage is less common these days among the great digital multitudes who are unwashed vocabulary-wise.
The absence of one word from Google's default spelling dictionary is a smidgen of what this post is about, but, go ahead, peck at the smidgen until your beak breaks

Ah, I thought it was something that you wanted to add.
You should watch how you phrase things, if they are so easily misunderstood.

No. No, it is not. Immemorable, which dates from at least the 16th Century, does not mean can be forgotten. It means cannot be remembered, is impossible to recall, is beyond the reach of memory. It is a deeper, more meaningful concept altogether.
As for your words that don't exist - Google translate appears to differ. Perhaps you'd care to explain what you think they've failed to understand.

immemorable
adj.
1550s, from Latin immemorabilis, from assimilated form of in- "not" (see in- (1)) + memorabilis (see memorable).
Immemorable | Define Immemorable at Dictionary.com[^]
It aint kosher to call something not kosher kosher. 
[EDIT]
My apologies. I misread your post completely, I thought you were complaining about the presence of the word. I guess you were not!

No, it was another who got it wrong. Not that there's any chance that he'll ever admit it.

Can we all just stand up, admit we are all probably as wrong as we are right, acknowledge that truth is a compromise between context and observer, a kind of DMZ full of land-mines between the warring armies of karma and serendipity ... just get that out of the way so we can go back to admiring the "beauty of our weapons" [1] ?

Well, from your wording, I was under the impression that you wanted (tongue-in-cheek) to point out a common misspelling; and adding words to dictionaries because some group of idiots can't get them right is a flea in my shorts.
OTOH, as you were talking about words that are missing from application word lists, I sympathise entirely. My MSO custom.dic has a huge number of entries that I should not have had to add, and it got so tiresome having to copy it to every machine, every time I came across yet another shortfall, that I automated it.

It's interesting that you posted this two hours after I stated that I'd been mistaken.

I was not oy vey gevalting about anything.
May I put it to you that culturally, imho, the ironic use of the word "kosher" in the context of the wit, irony, innuendo, and incredible sense of humor, found in modern Jewish culture (reflected in Yiddish's superb armory of put-downs, and one-ups) seems as logical as matzoh balls ? Okay, yeah, some Hasidim are going to come for me now, discover I'mgoyim, and reduce me to bupkis.
The greatest irony is that you can never use any degree of irony without offending someone.
cheers, Bill

Seriously, how can it be that my shade clad smiley gave you the impression of me being offended?
How can it be that my intentional triple repetition of "kosher" (to you) did not in any way indicate any degree of irony ?

I was not operating as if anyone was offended, or offensive; I was, am, operating, in a state of partial euphoria consequent to a long nap in 104F degree heat, breathing air full of PM2.5 from post-harvest corn-stalks burning ... after which too many things became too meaningful ... based on the principle that suffering and/or exaltation shared is suffering and/or exaltation diluted ... I headed for the sanctuary of the Lounge, where I knew could meet with equally suffering, or exalted, fellow sinners

Silliness and profundity: another polarity bound by a strange attractor; another phenomenon so altered by the act of observation that whether the observer is scratched by the half-dead kitty, or the half-alive kitty, is ... a toss-up.
