Remove word from custom dictionary

[Nermal]

I added a misspelt word to my custom dictionary today (right click -> Learn Spelling). How can I edit my custom dictionary so that I can remove it?

Thanks

Right/control click in a spell-checked area (like a reply box here) and choose Spelling->Spelling....

Type the word you want forgotten into the text box, then click "Forget".

Should work!

Seems like the words are stored in /Users/[you]/Library/Spelling/en (for English speakers), but I'm not sure exactly how to edit that, except via the previous method.

That did it, thanks

After looking in that file, I found the 'bad' word still listed there, after Forgetting it. So I just deleted the file (only had 2 other words in it anyway)
