## Description

The Russian Spellchecking Dictionary is a comprehensive resource for the ispell spell checker, authored by Alexander Lebedev. It features an extensive vocabulary with more than 139,000 basic Russian words and generates over 1,367,000 related words. This dictionary uniquely supports the correct spelling of the Russian letter 'yo', unlike other dictionaries that substitute it with 'ye'.

Based on a refined word list originally compiled by Neal Dalton, this dictionary has removed errors and added many new words and rules, making it one of the most accurate Russian spellchecking tools available. Included in Russian builds of Mozilla Firefox 3.0.4 and later, it ensures precise Russian language support for users requiring robust spellchecking capabilities.

## Review summary

Most repeated content in the reviews are unsolicited acquisition offers (multiple similar messages), indicating external interest in the add-on but cluttering the review space. Other useful feedback (a thank-you and a complaint about needing to re-download after browser updates) appears only once each and thus isn’t counted among recurring points.

### Pros

- Attracted multiple acquisition/investment inquiries, suggesting the add-on is perceived as valuable

### Cons

- Several reviews consist of repeated unsolicited purchase/acquisition messages (spam), which obscures genuine user feedback
