>Description:

"cactus" is not in /usr/share/dict/words. It only has "cacti".

This is obviously a super-critical problem that must be fixed
immediately.

More interestingly, for some reason I don't understand this does not
cause spell(1) to fail. But then, spell(1) is pretty dodgy. All hail
the overfrog.

 It appears that's there because it used to be a genus name, which has
 apparently since been subdivided.

 Wikipedia shows enough things named Cactus to leave it, though, so
 I'll just add a lowercase version.

 (software using the file should not be implicitly lowercasing words,
 so both should be present when appropriate)

 There is also David Bowie:

   Tactful cactus
   by your window
   ...
   Will all the cacti
   find a home?
