Note that a spell checker doesn't just need to list the words, but
needs to know all forms of the words (plural form, genitive form,
different times,....) And of course rarely it is also wiser to not
accept a word if it is likely that it was not the intended one (but
then this overlaps with the functionality of a grammar checker)
