Then, if I want to, I can load the required files onto my system.

It's as daft as having to install 100 dictionaries for a spell checker,
because it insists.  Never mind that you only speak one language.  We
had that silliness with Gaim a while back, insisting on you installing
some optional spell checker - made all the more worse by the difficulty
in finding the package it needed.
