AFAIK the personal dictionary is where your own words are stored. When
an unknown word is found while spell-checking, you are offered the
candidates for correcting it, but you also have the option of adding the
word to your personal dictionary.
I suppose that the .ispell file is created as soon as you add the first
word to your personal dictionary.

This is wrong because you are trying to use a pre-existing regular
dictionary as your personal dictionary. AFAIK the regular dictionaries
are on a read-only format.
