I simply prefer the user interface offered by Sigil (and calibre) - i.e. a list of mispelt words, with a usage count.
FWIW Word has a little known exclusion feature, it's just a list of words you can maintain for each installed dictionary, they're installed as empty files in %AppData%\Roaming\Microsoft\UProof - e.g. ExcludeDictionaryEN0c09.lex

Kovid added a neat feature to calibre's spell checker to deal with misplaced hyphens. If a mispelt word has a hyphen - eg 'con-sidered' - then if removal of the hyphen yields a valid word - i.e. 'considered' - then that word will be offered as the first choice in the list of suggestions.
Maybe Sigil could do something similar, in the above example 'considered' is ninth in the list of suggested corrections.
@
KevinH - was your program that took a word list and applied the affix rules to create an optimal .dic file called 'munch'? There's a program in hunspell-tools of that name that seemingly does something very similar.
Maybe some bright-spark could munge munch to create the aforementioned plug-in
