I think it would make more sense that you commented my first mail; 
that's were I could (and would) rephrase.

How that reflects situation with dictionaries in LO?

No grammar checker of spelling checker can fix dadaism. Nor they can 
think for the user. Only think you can do, is fix typically grammar or 
spelling mistakes by spelling checker and grammar checker working together.

Without grammar checker you still can cache typo. So having spelling 
checker is still better then don't having it.

I really didn't want to to start this kind of discussion, but can't 
thous languages still bit word lists (maybe with affix file) and isn't 
that better then don't having that option at all?

You know what you are talking and you have whole system in your head 
(phonology, morphology...), you know what can possibly go wrong and what 
to correct -- but you only working with Hunspell (and maybe 
LanguageTool) -- so you work with that and forget about stuff you read 
in doctorate degrees.

My point was that shift in how dictionaries are (or will be) build 
should not be expected. I'm surprised that there is that many of them 
(put aside overall quality).

And I can't build even decent grammar checking with LanguageTool without 
corpus available. There is one, but I'm not doing this on my on, alone 
-- forget it. So let it be just spelling checker (broken or not).
