1.
I wonder, can PGS have a 'memory' for already 'ignored' words?
If you check spelling a document, and ending that session for what ever
reason. Then restart check spelling again, in maybe another document,
PGS doesn't remember the words that are ignored in the last session.
If you quit PGS, then this 'ignored words' memory can be flushed (or
flushed with a button).

2.
And I believe somebody else asked this already: can PGS have to look in
multiple dictionaries at the same time, which you can select?
For instance: I have a Dutch text with lots of words that are for one
purpose only (most English, some Dutch, words but they are specific for
that purpose, so these words cannot be found in a normally English or
Dutch dictionary).
So one can open two (or more) dictionaries at the same time (I know
there are a Language.Spelling and a Language.UserSpelling dictionaries,
but I want those to be specific for that language)? So the next one
would be: Purpose.Spelling and maybe another Purpose.Spelling where the
purpose have different names.

Although I understand the present implementation this would be a nice feature.
In particular there are times that I have to interrupt a spell check for
whatever reason and on restart go through all the ignored words again. This
*would* be somewhat alleviated by number two below, though.

Hear, hear! For example, if I'm doing a technical document (or anything else
with a specialized vocabulary). I don't want to add the words to UserSpelling
because I would need them flagged as misspellings in other documents. This
would need a) multiple user dictionaries and b) ability to select multiple
dictionaries.

Oooo you got me I'm glad you like the borders. Now I need to work on a
couple of scripts (and you know one of those... still working on the
astronomical algorithms...)
