Sure, but it's not possible to use them simultaneously, or have the machine 
decide which dictionary should be used for a given paragraph and switch to 
that one. Manually switching them is a pain, and just not worth the effort if I 
am mixing several languages in the same post.

It is also impossible for the machine to know whether it is correct to say 
color or colour in the given context. And there are people who will bicker 
about it if I don't get it right (where the definition of "right" differs in US 
and UK, for example). ;-) Spell-checker is next to useless in these cases, 
again unless I manually select the proper dictionary.

Best, :-)
Marko
