Words added to the default dictionary should be shared between computers

New
Many English speaking countries have words that are unique to them and can't be found in Ubuntu's Standard Dictionary.
If you use more than one computer or every time up create a fresh install all custom words have to be manually added to every computer.

Solution #1:
Synchronize default dictionary with Ubuntu one
Written by

It would be great if words that I add to Ubuntu's default dictionary on one computer can be synchronized between tmy other computers.
Also, this would be great for fresh installs. I won't have to start adding the words over again to the default dictionary.

Solution #2:
Prerequisite and solution
Written by

The following is a prerequisite.
Here is a general solution that solves this problem permanently. (Programs and distro's come and go, having support a specific thing doesn't do much in the long run.)
Make a standard format for dictionaries.
And a standard api for using them from outside programs.
Then add support for this api in linux and ubuntu userland programs.
