Ken,

No, I do not think of luxury, I just think of agglutinating or flectioning
languages, that create all or many correlations using endings.

It is not much help, if the word house is found, but "in the house",
"from the house", "to the house", "at the house", "my house", "to my house"
and 1223 other similar  structures are still flagged as erroneous. 

Even in German there are about 6 variations of each word, if you add for
example "play" in German, "you play" "he plays" "we play", "you played, "he
played", "they played", "to play"  "playing female gender" "playing male
gender" "playing neutral gender" and others remain bad in the spell check, 
therefore affixes are not a luxury, but a minimal necessity.

Thanks, Eleonora
