I've now found in the vim help file a reason for putting bad spellings in a 
wordlist. I quote:

----------------------
BAD WORDS                                               *spell-BAD*

In the affix file a BAD line can be used to define the affix name used for
bad words.  Example:

        BAD ! ~

This can be used to exclude words that would otherwise be good.  For example
"the the" in the .dic file:

        the the/! ~
----------------------

While we want to accept the word 'the', we would normally want to flag 'the 
the' as bad to allow us to get rid of one of the 'the' words.

No. I never came across this until I read your email.

Thanks for your reply.
