I've been fascinated over the years with respect to the spell check's
ability to include the correctly-spelled word in some situations when
I've really mangled the spelling and inability to display anything in
other situations when the misspelling has been relatively minor.
It seems spellings in the supplemental dictionary *should* be offered
as options, but it may be that the supplemental dictionary would have
to be incorporated into the main dictionary for that to happen.
Either way, you don't want anything but the CORRECT spelling for each
"word" in either place, but there's no way to assure WP will display
what you really intended as an option.
