I'm not very deep involved in spellchecking, but nevertheless trying a
shot..

If I remember well german, dictionary changed to hunspell dictionary
engine for that reason. German and many more languages' words are
compound words in a very wide range so that problem arose from
beginning. Not shure what spellchecking engine is used for english
languages spellchecking - I guess it's aspell which has poor support for
compound words.

But all guessed. Not enough insight in that topic.
