Yes, you can do this, of course.
And I have this on my ToDo list already.

But it's a little bit more than simply reporting an error:
1) the spell checker shouldn't be enabled when not functional 
 - if no dictionaries are found
2) the spell checker may be functional, but not for the languages used in 
document
 - obviously it shouldn't report success on spell check then. 
 An warning message would be appropriate.
