Tell you what, I now understand better what the code is about. It's isn't really a user option at all, and should be done. So forget my initial report! The undesired side-effect of loading ispell is unfortunate. You're saying you have to load ispell.el to make "Spell Checking" menu list within the "Tools" menu? I notice that by default ispell isn't loaded and has a more elaborate menu. Can the code required to regenerate the menu correctly be added to 50dictionaries-common.el without loading all of ispell? If so, then that's my bug report. If not, feel free to close this and sorry for waisting your time! -- Peter S.
