Hello,
I'm using LyX 2.0.3 under Ubuntu 13.04. (The 2.0.3 version is the
latest available in the Ubuntu repositories at the moment).
I'm using the default spellchecker engine (Enchant), language =
English (UK).
When I add a word not recognised by the spellchecker to my personal
dictionary LyX stops highlighting it in red, as expected. However,
when I close the program and open it again, I notice that all of the
words that I added to the personal dictionary are again highlighted in
red, making me believe that they were not added to my personal
dictionary. Of course, adding words every time I start a new LyX
session is quite cumbersome.
How can I make LyX remember words added to the personal dictionary
between sessions?
My words are saved under $HOME/.config/enchant/en_US.dic . My system is
slightly different (debian testing, lyx-2.0.6 --- which, by the way, you
can install in Ubuntu since it comes from debian).
Check to make sure those directories are present (well, of course, with
that other language...), and that they are writable. Permissions
problems used to be more common, but still occur occasionally.

Some people used to claim that, if enough monkeys sat in front of
enough typewriters and typed long enough, eventually one of them would
reproduce the collected works of Shakespeare. The internet has
proven this not to be the case.
