 === A friend of mine uses my favorite episode of ''The Young and the Restless'' as her buddy icon, but I can't quite make it out in the infopane.  What do I do? ===

+=== Why do all words I type get highlighted as misspelled? ===
+We've seen several users with this issue.  It seems to be that the dictionary for the spell checking language is missing.  Most likely you need to install a package named "`aspell-XX`" where `XX` is the language you run Pidgin in, such as `en` for English or `es` for Spanish.
