Does anyone know which files/libraries under Mac OS X 10.1 are used as a
shared English language lookup dictionary? I have a friend who seems to
have a corrupt dictionary which is causing every word typed in Mail.app
and Fire.app (messaging client) to highlight every word as misspelled.

The Apple-supplied spelling checker is /System/Library/Services/AppleSpell.service. You should probably be able to restore it by removing the existing version and replacing it with a known good copy from another system. You should log out and log back in afterwards.
