The spell checkers in the last two nightlies we have used (12/25 and 12/27) are
essentially useless.  They flag every word starting with a capital letter and/or
 find virtually every word "misspelled."  And even there, the speller offers
weird choices for words that are obviously correct - one example: "Dear" is
shown as misspelled and we are offered "Dewar" as the correction.  Not good.

Is this a new issue or is it possible that our dictoinary is corrupted?  If so,
how can we reload this part of the browser?

Best!
