Glenn:
That's where any special words that you add are stored. For example,
prior to retirement, I frequently corresponded with someone at work
whose last name was "Giblin". The spell checker wanted to change this to
"Goblin". In view of the various personal risks involved, I told the
spell checker to accept "Giblin" as a legitimate word. (Besides, he is a
very nice guy.)
