+`Checker::new()` defaults to English (`en_US` / `en_GB` on Linux, `en-US` on Windows). Use `with_locale` for another language. Locales may be written as `en_US` or `en-US`.
+
+Unknown or unsupported locales behave differently by platform:
+
+- **Linux:** missing dictionary / unknown locale → `Error::Unavailable`
+- **macOS:** empty locale → `Error::Unavailable`; unknown tags may still create a checker (system fallback)
+- **Windows:** unsupported language tag → `Error::Unavailable`
+
+## Threading
+
+macOS serializes access to the shared `NSSpellChecker`. Do not assume `Checker` is `Send` / `Sync` across platforms.
