There is always the personal dictionary. When spell checking using ispell-region for example one can always use 'i' to insert the word into the personal dictionary. If you are using computer terms and you don't want them flagged then insert the word into the personal dictionary. It shouldn't take too long before it has been populated with the terms you use often. I haven't done that myself. The problem for me is that after a while that dictionary would contain so many words such as ispell which would then no longer flag normal use of "spell" which were misspelled that way. I would rather keep human english communication separate from technical jargon. Perhaps two different dictionaries. But having only one means I want to be cautious. But by all means if you like insert all of the technical jargon into your personal dictionary. You could even share that around with others. It could become a standard jargon dictionary that could be promoted up to a system dictionary for standard inclusion. I mean what is the worst that can happen? Usually when people say that the worst that could happen is actually pretty bad but in this case it would just be a spelling error and we all make those mistakes all of the time anyway so not ultimately bad.
