The fundamental issue is that different people have different needs,

Actually: No. I was complaining about a bug. A single language user with
one dictionary installed visiting a site which prescribes another
dictionary is left with no spell checking. Not his locale, not the only
dictionary he has installed, not the last choice he made and was stored
in "spellchecker.dictionary". This user needs to set the language on
every single "foreign" site he visits. My example was just a US user
visiting a Korean or German or French or Spanish site. This is what I
call "leaving users stand out in the rain".
Your Korean user with a en-US build should most probably install a
Korean dictionary to avoid defaulting to en-US, if he/she switches on
checking in the first place. So I don't think your example compensates
for those getting wet.
No amount of changes to the fallback paths in the code mentioned above
will make things work well for everyone.
Sure, but we should fix the most obvious errors.
"Your" code is broken here:
I'm not going through a line by line analysis of this code on the
mailing list since this is besides the point, and I am trying to not
take the "your" above personally!
This was actually a reply to what you had written before (quote):
"... the spellchecker.dictionary pref is only set by *our* code ..."
I don't know who you referred to by "we" and "our", but I am addressing
the same people ;-)
