So many changes in almost 11 years of Ubuntu development and even a change in the installer.
I'm removing the Papercuts task as such request is clearly now a Desktop Team design decision.

Title:
  Installer should add user's name to spell checker dictionary

Status in adduser package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  During installation of Ubuntu I'm asked to enter my name, so the
  computer knows my name. However, that information is not passed on to
  the spell checker. I realise that I have a somewhat funny name (at
  least it is not very common), but it would be nice if the spell
  checker (in any app) didn't complain about it all the time.

  The solution is conceptually simple (it might be technically hard):
  just add the users real name to the list of accepted words in the
  spell checker.
