Well, that problem's nothing new. But then I can't even get an en-GB- 
oed spell-check dictionary. When I can, I use a Canadian one, since  
that's closest.

My point is that if you had a spell-check dictionary for the Academy  
orthography, would you want it to be the 1959 spelling? The 1985  
spelling? The 2008 spelling? And what happens when in 2022 they adopt  
a modified Taraskievica and *that* becomes the "Academy" spelling?

That's why I favour YYYYacad.

I had been wondering whether something like movakad would do, but I  
prefer YYYYacad.
