I'm not sure about your second question, but we certainly have had no troubles editing
the dictionary files. You might send your additions to Alan and/or the maintainers of
the dictionaries (they may list themselves in the file header) so you don't have to
edit things every time you reinstall.
Either way, you might want to do an $INCLUDE and have your additions as a separate
file, again so that your changes don't get overwritten when you do your next upgrade
(you'll only have to replace the $INCLUDE directive itself, which is easy).

Yes.
There = indicates direction "over there"
Their = indicates possession "their system" (see above)
They're = contraction of "they are"
:-)
Seriously, though, editing the dictionary files is common practice, at least around
here. The biggest thing is that if you think you're adding things that really ought
to be part of the stock dictionary, let someone know so it can be added to the distro
(and make sure the vendor doesn't mind).
