I just tested this on my Aura HD. The dictionary does handle inflections and plurals. The only weak point I have found is when a different word is alphabetically closer to the form you look up than the uninflected dictionary entry; for instance, looking up "agonies" brings up "agonise" instead of "agony."

And of course I totally agree that the dictionaries could be larger. Patching is a nice option, but it would also be nice to have good current dictionaries available. Like someone who posted before, I would even purchase a good one.
