The problem with doing that is the question becomes, where to insert the
original word in the list? If you insert it at the top, it is
sub-optimal for words where the suggestions are useful, if you insert it
at the bottom, it becomes painful for the use case you describe -- of
the suggestions list having lots of incorrect entries.

Also, I'm not actually clear on the utility of this. For the use case
you describe -- using a spell checker in a book with lots of domain
special words -- wouldn't the most common operation be to add the word
to the ignored list or a user dictionary? This is not affected by the
suggestions list at all.
