OK, my goal now is to have flyspell use the wamerican-huge dictionary.

You see it is driving me nuts to have "fortuneteller", "ridgeline"
etc. common words turn red in flyspell.

OK, so having installed wamerican-huge, we now proceed to try and have
flyspell use it. But there is a bug: no clear documentation how to!

In flyspell.el, we see "a personal dictionary can be used by
invoking `ispell-change-dictionary'"

OK, maybe the only way to use wamerican-huge is to make it my personal
dictionary. Hope it isn't too big.

 We do:
M-x ispell-change-dictionary
Use new dictionary (RET for current, SPC to complete):
Possible completions are:
american                           british
default
 We pick american:
No change, using american dictionary

Looking into flyspell-default-dictionary, we see it is all about
strings, but no mention of paths. All I know is I want to use
/usr/share/dict/american-english-huge.

Wait, in /usr/share/doc/dictionaries-common/README.Debian we see
select-default-ispell:
select-default-wordlist:
But indeed, these just mention american, which is already selected.

Maybe I'm supposed to make some manual symlink.

That would be the path to disaster, as a simple wish like "make
flyspell use wamerican-huge" should be in some debconf menu somewhere.

Anyway, please document how to make flyspell use wamerican-huge.

If it affects spell(1) etc. that would be fine too.

/usr/bin/spell -D /usr/share/dict/american-english-huge movie_ideas.html
/usr/bin/spell: /usr/share/dict/american-english-huge.hash: cannot open

I see. I have to create a hash file or something.

How inflexible that there is no mechanism to enjoy wamerican-huge
beyond look(1) without getting complicated.

P.S., "ringtone" is not in wamerican-huge.
