I don’t have a list (and I often don’t add these) but it’d be mostly chemical names and terms. Lovely words like tricyclo[6.2.2.0[sup]1,6[/sup]]dodecan-1(6)-en-7-one
choledocholithiasis, bovied. Gah. I hate my job sometimes. Okay, I hate my job most of the time.
Rochdale. It’s a town in Greater Manchester. But the spellcheck suggested “Rectal” - which perhaps has its merits, as anyone who has been there may testify.
I don’t have my work list here at home, but it contains whoppers like endoscopic, cholangiopancreatography (which I hope I spelled correctly here), and the like.

Interesting concept. I didn’t remember adding so many. I don’t remember doing so very much writing about musicians, either.
