;;; Commentary:
;;
;; Flyspell is a minor Emacs mode performing on-the-fly spelling
;; checking.
;;
;; To enable Flyspell minor mode, type M-x flyspell-mode.
;; This applies only to the current buffer.
;;
;; To enable Flyspell in text representing computer programs, type
;; M-x flyspell-prog-mode.
;; In that mode only text inside comments is checked.
;;                                                                  
;; Note: consider setting the variable ispell-parser to `tex' to
;; avoid TeX command checking; use `(setq ispell-parser 'tex)'.
;;                                                                  
;; Some user variables control the behavior of flyspell.  They are
;; those defined under the `User variables' comment.

`flyspell-mode' uses `ispell-mode'.  Thus all Ispell options are

invoking `ispell-change-dictionary'.

consider adding:
