Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-utils

Producing an "ERROR" when I don't spell the word 100% correctly ---
rather than giving me a list of words to choose from -- is just totally
silly.

Two big problems with this Dictionary....

(1)   The word Ubuntu is not in it.    WHAT?   lol     Would Apple
forget to include iPhone is its spellcheck?

(2)   As I type in a word, it should be looking up all the words that
start with those letters as I type.  It should not require me to enter
the whole word...  And it certainly should not require me to spell it
100% correctly!   That's the whole point of using a dictionary -- half
the time!

Producing an "ERROR" when I don't spell the word 100% correctly ---
rather than giving me a list of words to choose from -- is just totally
silly.
