To recreate: 
1. open Writer
2. type in a misspelled word for your locality
3. When the underline appears to indicate a spelling error, right-click on it.  
4. You will be prompted "Add to Dictionary" click on this.
5. You must choose a dictionary. 

This simple action takes three clicks and requires the user to make a choice
which is meaningless to them.   I understand there is a subset of users who want
this feature; but the default behavior should be one that does not cause
confusion for users who do not know the difference between dictionaries.

Suggested fix: 
1. Default behavior should be to show a simple "Add" menu; this adds to the
proper default dictionary. 
2. An option be added to enable the current behavior of presenting the user with
a choice of dictionaries. 


Reference also: 80919 - this was closed because there is already an option to
remove dictionaries from the selection; but this does not address the fact that
this is a) a confusing situation by default and b) requires two more clicks than
it needs to, in order to perform one of the most common tasks possible when
editing a document. 


Reference also: 52114 - I did not use this defect because the description did
not contain an adequately explained resolution.
