Words That Aren't Really Words

This is one of those things that I've always said like it was an actual word. However, it is not in fact a word. My spell checker just informed me that "towards" in not a word. This baffles me because how else am I supposed to convey which direction a person is moving? Safest bet is just not to say either word.

I'll just say I'm going to maui. (Hopefully someday I'll actually be able to say that and mean it.) By looking closely at it I can see that it's grammatically correct to say "toward". Now I have to go read about prepositions because I just don't believe this. I think my spell checker is just trying to mess with my head.
