Nope. Every time I spell-check something, it tells me that *every* word
is mis-split. (I.e., the dictionary is empty.) No matter how many times
I install a dictionary, I can't make this work. I've given up trying.

From what I remember, sometimes there's an error and the dictionary
doesn't even install, and sometimes it does install but then there's no
option to select it or any evidence that it was ever installed.

Sometimes I think we should just nuke the whole English language and
design something that actually ****ing works.
Unfortunately, this is impossible.
