I used cygwin's bash to find something like a dict directory, but the
only ones that turn up are LaTeX related:

find / \( -path /c -o -path /cygdrive -prune \) -o -name dict \
2>&1 | tee ~/tmp/find.out

/cygdrive
/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/latex/glossaries/dict
/c

I'm not sure how the files in that directory are used, but I strongly
suspect that it isn't used by vim.

As for "zw" creating an entry in the spellfile designated as a wrong
word....it doesn't show up as wrong even after "mkspell!
en.utf-8.add". And as I said, I confirmed that changes to
en.utf-8.add take effect by adding words to it and seeing them being
no longer flagged as wrong in the main LaTeX file being edited.

A mystery....
