No, it doesn't. While I personally don't use a spell checker at all and 
recommend using one in a text editor or a word processor before importing 
text into Scribus -- if someone wants to check the spelling with a 
computer -- there already is a spellchecker available. Unfortunately, this 
version doesn't work on Windows, yet.

In other words, this is not a culture clash, but a simple technical issue.
