I know the word parallelepiped, and its very common but I went to type it in to the expose dictionary, and it says its not found!!!
I know something in OSX knows this word, because to spell it right I had to type it into a chat window and right click it to get the spelling choices.
How the conversation came up was I was trying to think of the word for a parallelogram with all sides equal in length. Like a square with non 90º angles. But instead of saying parallelogram I said parallelepiped. Anyway, the figure is called rhombus, I thought of it wile making this post.
dictionary.com has parallelepiped, I would believe the Oxford dictionary has parallelepiped, and it was my understanding that the dictionary.app was based on the entire Oxford dictionary. So why no parallelepiped? And what other words didn't make the cut? (Mainly common words, you might think parallelepiped isn't common but it really is.)
