You have two options in the Spelling menu for dealing with a word that is spelled correctly, but is flagged as error.
Add to Personal Dictionary
Ignore All
The selected word is added to your dictionary and is considered a valid spelling in all Google documents.
The selected word is considered a valid spelling and won’t be flagged as an error in the document.
The ignore all option ONLY lasts as long as you have Google Docs open.
If you close the document and reopen it, the errors that you ignored before are indicated as errors again.
You only need to add words to your dictionary if you think it will be used in other documents or you have a large document that you will be opening a lot. Otherwise, just ignore the word.

8. Check the Whole Document
As a final check, you can run the spelling check on the whole document.
This looks through the whole document for possible spelling errors.
This is a good thing to do incase you missed an error.

9. Define Tool Right click on a word and then click Define.
