Hi Tom,

yes it is possible to unlearn a word but at the moment only « manually » . Open the Tcl Shell (cmd-Y) and type the following command (assuming the word you learnt by mistake is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious):

«» spellchecker unlearn supercalifragilisticexpialidocious


You can also test if a word is in the user’s dictionary by using the -c option with the [spellchecker learn ] command. For instance
«» spellchecker learn -c supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
0

I don’t know exactly where the user’s dictionary is stored. It probably depends on the version of the System. Maybe in ~/Library/Dictionaries.

Cheers,
Bernard
