Or perhaps just for non-dictionary words, ie noob, clusterfuck...

Actually I think an offline dictionary nowadays its completely worthless... I would take it out of Ubuntu. Definitely.

This would be a good extension to idea #364.

I think that this idea is a very good one especially `cause we would be supporting another great GNU initiative, well done mate!
The off-line dictionary should still be used because as in many less fortunate parts of the world internet is not that easy as most of us in "richer" countries just take it for granted and forget about other people that sometimes cannot afford it.

This is already on the Gnome 2.24 Roadmap. Both Wikipedia and Local File support. If accomplished, it should make it into Ubuntu 8.10.
