[Bug 663032] Re: Spelling check shows too many dictionaries
This has been going on for far too many years. I believe it is
imperative that we do not flood with MANY dictionaries when we just want
one. It is extremely impractical to have to scroll the long menu items
to find the desired dictionary.
When installing Spanish dictionary such as myspell-es, it installs
TWENTY-ONE Spanish dictionaries from diverse countries. This is in
contrast to the English dictionaries where each dialect has their own
package (myspell-en-au, myspell-en-us, etc)

Bug description:
Binary package hint: firefox
When you right click a text box Firefox gives you the option to choose the dictionary for the spelling check.
The problem is that if you speak languages like english (US variant, UK variant, Australian variant..) and spanish (Spain, Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua...) the list gets HUGE! (as shown in the attached picture)
