I don't use OO writer every month, and when I do, it seems my spell checker is kaput. I've been through restoring the dictionary more than once, but don't do it often enough to remember the drill. Why is this even necessary? Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Then note down what you do, put this in a file at a place where you can find it and read your notes next time.
It is not.Why is this even necessary?
I can only guess your spell check is not configured to your needs and you always do the setup for the file you are working on. If you only tell "this file needs french spell-check" as an example this doesn't change anything for your next document....
Basic settings are usually derived from your locale, but if you use a template to generate a file (like in windows fike>New) the settings of the template are preserved.
You should also note Writer can use different spell-check-settings for every paragraph, so also your styles can "set" languages and correct or interfere ither settings.
I assume so. Very few of us manage to do nothing wrong. I'd suggest you start here:Is there something I'm doing wrong?
as the only result is a headache.
If you actually seek help and not only "venting" upload a newly created document with some paragraphs, tell wich language you want to use and how you created the document and maybe sombody take a look and can help you.

Go to the Writer forum and read the first post [Tutorial] Spell Check Not Working (words red underlined). It's all about solving spellchecker problems.

Re: Spell Check Defunct Again
When you, rarely according to your post, open Writer, are you prompted to enter your name and initials? If so, something on your computer, perhaps an automatic housekeeping routine or a routine application of such by you, may be erasing your OpenOffice User Profile, assessing that it has not been used in a long time. You might need to tell such a routine not to delete your OpenOffice User Profile.

Yes I have been through several attempts some successful but never know why or which; some very time consuming.
