I've had to move dictionary stuff to the far back burner for now, thanks to too much real life stuff. I don't think there exist unabridged spellchecking dictionaries, but it's possible to create a pretty big one. See <http://wordlist.aspell.net/>, the "create a customized wordlist" link. ("Emeried" is in the wordlist for "SCOWL size" >=80. You can check to see what words are in what lists by using the "check if a word is in SCOWL" link.) If you download a Hunspell dictionary, you should just be able to unzip it (both the .aff and .dic files) into /usr/share/hunspell -- that should make it available system-wide. How to get SeaMonkey to use a new dictionary, I'm not certain. With Firefox, you right-click in a text box and choose an option under "Languages". Maybe this extension would help: <https://addons.mozilla.org/seamonkey/addon/dictionary-switcher/>. Firefox 39 and some soon-to-be-released SeaMonkey should come with a newer en_US dictionary, per <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1133363>. But I don't think it's possible to use the bundled dictionaries with Gentoo's built-from-source Mozilla packages. Maybe seamonkey-bin would do it.
