My NetBeans dictionary is kind of... illiterate? It's flagging words like "website" and the "doesn" part of doesn't. I right-clicked expecting to see your standard Add to dictionary... option but found none. I browsed the menus and also found nothing.
How do I educate my NetBeans spellchecker?

Definition of spellchecker : a computer program or function (as in a word processor) that identifies possible misspellings in a block of text by comparing the text with a database of accepted spellings. — called also spell-check, spelling checker.
Spell check addresses the spelling issues and simplifies the experience by building your dictionary, managing your ignored words list, or correcting the misspelled words. Working with the spell check option is a good practice to ensure high quality.

It looks like the spell checker is a relatively recent addition. There are basic instructions on how to change the dictionary here.
Adding an unknown word to the dictionary requires alt + enter while the cursor is on the 'misspelled' word. This might take care of the most glaring omissions.
If it highlights just 'doesn', then it probably isn't aware of English-style contractions (i.e., it doesn't know that words can span across an apostrophe). Until that is fixed, I would recommend just adding 'doesn' as a separate word using the above method.
