I have several spelling dictionaries installed: aspell-0.60.6.1, aspell-en-7.1_0, gtkspell-2.0.16, hunspell-1.3.3, and ispell-3.2.06. I have no idea which application uses which dictionary. But, now and then I mistakenly insert a misspelled word in a dictionary (most frequently within alpine, my MUA) and would like to remove it.

How do I find in which dictionary a word is located?

'/usr/lib ># ls -d *spell' returns aspell and ispell. Both have multiple files in their directories and grep'ing for a known-misspelled word does not find it within either directory.

Have you looked in your home directory or /var? It's very unlikely that user alterations would end up in /usr. The hunspell variant of ispell maintains personal dictionaries as $HOME/.hunspell_default.
