Yeah, basically if you say something and someone understands it you've successfully communicated. Dictionaries are always lagging behind popular usage.

In your phrase "group that cares", cares is 3rd person singular. There's no reason for a program to ever flag that as a spelling mistake so I'm not sure what's going on with that.
