Is the nynorsk dictionary installed on your Ubuntu system? What are the values of ispell-local-dictionary and ispell-library-directory? What is GNU Emacs showing in *Completions* buffer when you type M-x ispell-change-dictionary RET TAB The values shown are the dictionaries found on your system in the directory pointed by ispell-library-directory. Have you checked whether the modes of the buffers that use american for ispell do *not* change ispell-dictionary? Have you checked whether your buffer do *not* set ispell-dictionary locally? Are you sure that your setting of ispell-dictionary in ~/.emacs is executed? Some (message ...) might help. -- Greetings Pete The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not "Eureka!" (I found it!) but "That's funny..." Isaac Asimov
