It takes a little more to make a "custom word" dictionary than just 
placing a word list into a .oxt file.  I have made a few English 
dictionary add ons over the years, and believe me, it is not that easy.

Yes, it would be nice to have a good system to add to and edit a custom 
word list for LO to use, just in case you added a word to your list and 
then found out later it was not spelled correctly.

Contact me off the lists and I can walk you through the process of 
making a custom English dictionary .oxt file.  You will see how much 
work it can take.
