You probably meant this here:

I don't know! It *apparently* does that if I read the above homepage
correctly:

"It is also possible to insert text according to the current dictionary
and have it updated automatically when it changes. This is great for
your text templates and signatures."

Well, I *just* started using it - I don't actually know if it really
works or anything. :p But I fixed up a function (mode-to-be) that I was
using for that instead:

 (defun anarcat/author-mode ()
   "toggle a bunch of minor modes for authorship
 
 this should be converted to a minor mode in itself, or maybe as
 hooks fro writeroom?
 
 see Elisp manual, 22.3 Minor Modes"
   (interactive)
   (writegood-mode)
   (wc-mode)
   (writeroom-mode)
-  (anarcat/change-dict "en")
+  (adict-guess-dictionary)

So basically, instead of forcing the "english" dictionary in my author
"mode", I let adict guess it. It seems to work for english at least...

I'd be happy to help.
