You are adding 2 files to the spellfile option. Since you used

I am not sure, why you want to add 2 files, but do as advised if you

think you need it.

Thanks, Christian. I simply adapted what's in my macvim .vimrc for spelling on the android system. I don't know why I have two files there. It was most likely at the suggestion from someone here when I was just getting started with vim.

I'm inclined to go with just one now after your response and reading the spellfile help. The contents of the two files is different however. The "en.utf-8.add" file is simply a list I've added as correct spellings. The "en.utf-8.add.spl" looks like this:

VIMspell2� � abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz�� 235abcdefgjklmnprstuvx 60 u ors u t n e s s a h a m i 6c u r d u Nm cehk <st o m p l Ni m o n e y � i n s t e i 6n n o w l e d g e m e n t Ns i o n a b i l i t 6y dim o Nn c a Nl i s s a b l Ne <a t e r s c h o �o g r e g a t o Nr <e i d 6o cikl ' �s �m ai l Li n ' 6s s t a t 6e eim r i c a cn a l o l 6a o o n  

I think the difference in content contributed to my thinking the two files served different functions. My inclination is to keep the word list file and ditch this one, but I thought I'd inquire here first: What's the function of the "add.spl" file? Any harm in getting rid of it?

Thanks,
