OpenOffice and Firefox do not recognize the word "sniggering".

I'm now curious if you could do some sort of long term rearrangement of vocabulary use simply by slowly removing terms from various spellchecks, encouraging people to retry with a supported synonym until the word falls out of use entirely, and if someone's already trying this out.

It's legit, though perhaps less respected than "snickering" itself.

I'm not really surprised that it's not included in either of the dictionaries mentioned; I've encountered loads of words that Firefox fails to recognize... not that I can remember any of them off the top of my head.
