I don't think the spell-checker knows how to persist data [the list of ignored
words] into the text being checked. In other words, it doesn't know how or
where you're saving that text. If you want this persistent behavior, which I
agree is good, you'll have to save the state of that setting, plus the list of
ignored words, into your document somehow. (I don't know how to do this; I've
never worked with the Cocoa spell-check API.)
