on a linux distro like nixos /usr/share doesn't exist but XDG_DATA_DIRS is set to the location of hunspell files (if they are installed ofc) so we look for each directory in XDG_DATA_DIRS, check if theres an en_us dictionary in it, if not, fall back to previous /usr/share/... path Signed-off-by: p1k0chu <p1k0chu.vim@gmail.com>
