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.
