System dictionaries are the primary language dictionaries. They are shared by all users on a PC. They can't be edited and typically contain around 100,000 words in a single language.

The current version of MapSpeller supports only the American English language. Through the MapSpeller Speller Settings in the Options dialog, users can either decide to use that language or none.

Users can also decide to use their personal dictionaries (also called user dictionary). Personal dictionaries are also language dependant. Therefore, each user has potentially one for each system dictionary language setting available. So with the current of MapSpeller, each user would potentially have an American English personal dictionary (User_English (USA).dic) and a personal dictionary (User_None.dic), when no language dictionary is used. Personal dictionaries are located in the users' Windows profile as indicated on the Options form.

The danger dictionary that will be automatically be used also to the language dictionary selected.

• When the American English language is turned on, the Danger_English (USA).dic is used
• When no language dictionary is set, the Danger_None.dic is used
