There are variations which are bound to occur based on personal 
preference. For example in Hindi, some write हजार while others use हज़ार; 
some use गजब, and other ग़ज़ब. And in personal writing, if someone prefers 
to include one of these varieties in their spellchecker and exclude the 
other variety, then that is really a matter of personal preference and 
would not I should think, warrant sending these myriads of personal 
preference patchsets upstream. If a spellchecker word list is to be 
widely distributed that is one thing; but for use in one's home such 
personal preferences abound, and are probably I should think, best 
accepted as something which is simply always going to exist on the 
personal level.

All the Best,
Swarup
