But the pedant in me sees that blood-red mark with real pain.)

Really, it would be pretty easy to write an online system that lets you define your personal dictionary extensions, and that maybe even allows you to share them with friends. The only tricky part is getting programs to make use of it. Might make a good Firefox extension to start with, though...
