It doesn't quite work because it attaches to the US dictionary but does not add to it. Like you, I don't want to thrown out the US dictionary to find out.
I think it needs to be a private dictionary. But this is all too much work for idle curiosity.

User (private ?) dictionaries are not implemented as hunspell dictionaries, they're in %APPDATA%calibre\dictionaries\prefs.json
Kovid mentioned adding the ability to add a word-list into the spell checker.
Maybe my original idea of obtaining the differences between en_GB.dic and en_US.dic via a diff can be revived, perhaps it could be the input into the forthcoming 'add word-list' feature.
Or get one of the 'experts' over at libre or apache to build a combined oxt.
Active curiosity has been known to kill cats, but by and large its the way we humans learn - I'm not sure there's such a thing as 'idle curiosity', unless one includes 'vicarious interest' in its definition.
