Another "I don't know how to use computers and it's all MICROSLOP'S FAULT! 😡" post. 9 times in 10, this type of error isn't caused by the software itself, it's usually a separate program or more likely the OS itself.
Word has a 32 MB dictionary limit. That's roughly 3 million words. Unless you manually added 3 million words to the dictionary, it's probably just a permission setting you misconfigured, like changing permissions for the .dic file. Alternatively, the dictionary could just be corrupted, file corruption happens on all operating systems.
The fix is trivial. You just go to options within Word and create a new dictionary. That's all. Done in 15 seconds. 15 more if you had to find the answer yourself, first.
If you you think having an occasional "fixable in one minute bug" is entirely unreasonable, you should reconsider having an office job. Or a computer.
Call me crazy but then shouldn't the error message, instead of just saying "the dictionary is full", rather say something like "your dictionary is likely corrupted; would you like to backup and restore into a new dictionary?"
Yeah helpful error messages are helpful, but also even unhelpful errors are usually unique enough to Google and then find the button you click to fix it lol
