A brief commentary on dictionaries

Large dictionaries are not always necessarily good for spell checkers. The ideal dictionary will have the largest cross-section of words that are actually used in everyday documents but will be very sparse with infrequently used words. Why is this? The answer is simple. The more uncommon words that the dictionary has in it, the better the chances that the user will misspell a word, but the misspelling will end up as a properly spelled word. Thus the spell checker would believe the word to be spelled correctly even though the user quite possibly had never even heard of the word before.
