$ find jidanni.org/comp/configuration/|xargs grep dict
jidanni.org/comp/configuration/.emacs:;(setq ispell-dictionary "american")
jidanni.org/comp/configuration/.emacs:(setq ispell-local-dictionary 
"american"); #bug 6143

Anyway, my stuff is all in http://jidanni.org/comp/configuration/

CY> should do the trick, once Flyspell is loaded.

You will have to tell me what to put into .emacs.
(setq
 flyspell-mode-hook
 '(define-key flyspell-mode-map [(control ?\.)] nil)
)
of course gives an error because I don't know what I am doing.
