 If English is your native language, then you will easily find dictionaries for US, Canadian, UK, and Australian dialects of English.  The same holds true for many languages.

 If you want to locate additional dictionaries, you can use any ISPELL or HUNSPELL .dic and .aff file.  Some web resources available to help you locate new dictionaries are:

 Remember, you only need a .dic and a .aff for the language and dialect you want to use, and only the .dic file for any secondary languages you may wish to use.
-Once you have the .dic and .aff file of the primary language you want, then copy them into the DATA directory as "directory.aff" and "dictionary.dic" and you'll be ready to go.

 === Suggestion Delay ===
-By default this is set to true, which causes Mystic to wait until the user does not type for around a half of a second before it will try to auto suggest words.  However, if you are on a faster system, you may prefer to remote the delay which causes Mystic to perform instant suggestions.
