Binary package hint: gnome-utils

Producing an "ERROR" when I don't spell the word 100% correctly --- rather than giving me a list of words to choose from -- is just totally silly.

Two big problems with this Dictionary....

(1) The word Ubuntu is not in it. WHAT? lol Would Apple forget to include iPhone is its spellcheck?

(2) As I type in a word, it should be looking up all the words that start with those letters as I type. It should not require me to enter the whole word... And it certainly should not require me to spell it 100% correctly! That's the whole point of using a dictionary -- half the time!

Producing an "ERROR" when I don't spell the word 100% correctly --- rather than giving me a list of words to choose from -- is just totally silly.
