Spellcheckers are one thing, grammar is another!

All these years I could have been teaching English instead of science.

Come on Fryke, interpret the dictionary for your language and incorporate that into the OS X dictionary. I bet there is a handsome wad of cash to the one who does that.

Yeah. ... It's rather the _time_ that's missing. BUT! I've just tried it, and while the normal dictionary doesn't show anything else but English, the trick _does_ give me a choice of German words. I don't know where it gets those words, though.

Oh, I got it now. Stupid me. The Dictionary.app in Tiger, which also lets you define words you hover over, has _nothing_ at all to do with input correction. Completely separate dictionaries, apparently. Well: Not only stupid me, but also stupid Apple, I'd say... I think there should simply (?) be _one_ dictionary (or more) for each language supported by Mac OS X.
