Why doesn't Ubuntu know the word 'Ubuntu'?

Question

It seems odd that I have to teach Ubuntu the word 'Ubuntu'. Why doesn't it know itself. Are there any plans to fix this?

It's been like this for as long as I can remember. I'm currently on 10.10.

Question inspired by this.

I agree to put on the dictionary. but most us are using Google definition http://www.google.com.et/search?sourceid=chrome&client=ubuntu&channel=cs&ie=UTF-8&q=define%3Aubuntu — Achu, Apr 14 '11 at 05:22

That's a good idea, previously raised in this Brainstorm idea. I don't know of any reason why it's not there; it just needs someone to make the change.

Bug 63499 asks for this to be done. Ubuntu ships multiple dictionaries (even for English) so it may need updates to multiple packages.

Ah, didn't know it was already 'brainstormed'. I'll be happy to file that bug if someone let's me know which package to do so against. – boehj Apr 14 '11 at 05:04
@boehj, I found it, see above. – poolie Apr 14 '11 at 22:58
Cheers, I'll have a look at this. – boehj Apr 15 '11 at 06:30
