I thought so.

Yeah. That actually creates a screw case I hadn't thought of for my prior
suggestion that we ignore all langs we haven't explicitly enabled a
dictionary for. If I have en-US and en-GB content and dictionaries
available, but the en-GB dictionary is turned off, what should happen to the
en-GB content?
- Dom: fall back to en-US so I can nuke it
- alt: wrong lang, don't check at all
I suspect Dom's right, but I'm not sure. We could certainly code it either
way.

I guess it depends on whether you want that jargon in your personal
dictionary, too. If I'm sharing documents with that person regularly, we
probably share most such terminology, no?

Thanks to Dom, I can currently do alt-T-S-A for this. Would a more direct
keybinding help?
