My suggestion goes into the other direction, to improve myspell's capabilities to have to provide less words at the starting point. In some cases thinking and human intelligence has better results, than mechanic munching and zipping.In the case of dictionaries definitively. > > For user words it is important to develop logic to be able to use > > the proper flags.

That is a good idea, if the personal dicionaries all have proper and right prefix/suffix combinations. They should have!
