	Replied thus:

	That is correct,

On my Debian Bullseye system I find:

en.dict
en_AU.dict
en_AU.exe
en_GB.dict
en_GB.exe

And others.

Not all have my added words in them, some of these files are empty.

I think the GB Great Britain and US, USA dicts are when I used a
different language and entered my own words and spellings.

Maybe if you open these files you may find the words and the "in use"
dictionary you seek?

Hope that helps,
Charlie
