This is clearly an intended feature. I am personally annoyed by the inability to indicate something suspicious is valid for a particular document. I do not want such things added to my dictionary because they are likely not valid for other documents.
That said I can understand how this would not be liked by all. If a bug report is filed, I would hope that it is solved by configuration choice, rather than just forcing everybody to accept it the other way.
That’s my opinion and I am sticking with it:-)
