I find it sad that what has been holding this back for years is "how will we download dictionaries": https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=6058

Especially considering LaTeX had this right for decades - and it is one of the major issues for good and pleasant readability... sigh.
- deathanatos 10y agoI don't even understand their logic here: > Linux and Windows don't have built-in dictionaries. Every Linux distribution I've ever been on has had a dictionary. I'm not sure what package it's in, but the point is that packages exist, and can be depended on (or, although I dislike this, vendored in). (Is it perhaps that they need a dictionary with the syllabic breakdown of the word? IDK if the normal dictionaries will give you that, or if it can be computed or heuristically determined?) (Edit: e.g., on Ubuntu, the "text" category includes a number of dictionaries in various languages … http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/text/ http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/text/ )
