Thank you.  Don't look at the code too closely :-/.

I think you want
    [[ -z $ZSPEAK_SPELL_LIST ]] && [[ -s ~/.zsh/spell.list ]] \
				&& ZSPEAK_SPELL_LIST=~/.zsh/spell.list

since the `~' doesn't get expanded if it's quoted.

You don't need the outermost ${...}.  I think it's harmless here.

    if [[ -s "$ZSPEAK_SPELL_LIST" ]]; then
        zspeak_spell=($(<${ZSPEAK_SPELL_LIST}))
