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,
