Looking at two of the delta files it seems like they are simply a list
off add-on entries to hunspell. Thus even chrome does not seem to have
the ability to remove/fix misspelled words from the dictionary
content... (unless they get removed by a patch)

As for the .bdic file, I have no idea about that one. ^^°


I still like the old idea to replace the OOo user-dictionaries by
hunspell dictionaries (or at least a format that hunspell can read).
But that would require hunspell to read 'negative dictionaries' (often
called exception dictionaries) and to provide user-supplied suggestions
for those entries. If we then can also have means for a 'Language All'
dictionary then we could replace the user-dictionaries by hunspell
compatible ones, and that would be a nice thing to do I believe.

Does someone feel tempted? ^_-
