  From my keyboard:

   Hello Stephan,

  Thank you for your help. Had I known I should look into my
  ~/.config directory for enchant, I would have been right.

Joe had the answer and shared it. So I found the word and removed it.

My problem was not a big issue, however, just annoying to think I
couldn't grub it out when I checked my ~/.aspell.en.pws file even
before I posted my question.

Thanks both of you.

Be well,
Charlie

  From my keyboard:

   Hello Joe,

That does help. It's the answer. Thank you very much for taking the
time to supply it. Very much appreciated. Have removed the word. Wow.

No fictitious words in that email. :-)

For some reason I seldom think to to look in .config for various things,
unless prompted to do so. A mental block, something to do with age,
though I don't wish that to sound like an excuse.

  Thanks again,
Charlie

Hello Charlie. I may have a scrap of information that could help you...

I've been using LyX to write sci-fi stories for a while now and I needed to know
where my spellchecker words were saved. So I could have the script that opens 
my story
and related .lyx documents, swap out my regular spell checker file(s) for 
copies that
included the fictional words that are part of my story just before it opens my 
story
files with LyX. Then when I close that LyX session, my script swaps my regular
spellchecker files back in, so I don't accidentally include one of my "fictional
words" in a formal letter or something...

Anyway, since my copy of LyX 2.1.4 happens to be using enchant I checked my 
script
for the pathname of the file:

~/.config/enchant/en_US.dic

Then I fired up LyX 2.1.4 on a test file and added the non-word "blablabla" to 
my
word list, closed LyX and opened the above file with vim...
Where I found "blablabla" at the bottom of the file: ~/.config/enchant/en_US.dic

Needless to say, I promptly deleted that non-word from my word list.

Hope this helps

Obviously the description for personal dictionary management with LyX you’ve
read in the LaTeX-forum is wrong for the Enchant spell checker.

> There is no .dict in the whole of my /home directory.

The enchant spell checker is another layer between LyX and the real function.
LyX calls enchant functions. Enchant is doing what is configured there.
Either myspell, ispell or something else.

See e.g. here: http://linux.die.net/man/1/enchant

According to this manual you may have a look in your home directory in .enchant

  From my keyboard:

   Hello Stephan,

  Here you have the screenshot. Did I say I was using Debian
  Jessie (testing)?

Which of those commands in the drop down menu allow me to delete a word
word that I used several reboots ago in my added word list. It's sort
of my last hope. [see below] But I can live without getting that word
removed.

I did that before by the way. Checked the drop down menu, but didn't see
which entry to try as explained in my email.

There is no .dict in the whole of my /home directory.

My spellchecker is Enchant.

So, just to be certain as I could be. Ran a search through the entire
hard drive, all directories, and came up with plenty of .dict - 94 in
fact, but none that showed me where I might find the file I need. 

I'll just have to leave it as it is unless that drop down menu holds
the key.

Thanks anyway,
Charlie

I used the ordinary F7 spellcheck option to spellcheck and then add the
word.

I see that if I highlight the word I want to remove, I get a different
dialogue. But accept or reject change isn't what I want. I would like
"keep added word in dictionary" or "remove added word in dictionary" or
something to that effect?

I want to remove a word I placed into the dictionary a couple of
hours ago.

I went to /usr/share/hunspell/ to the dictionaries there, but that
appears to be the list of words used, not the added words. I looked for
the word I misspelled and added by accident, but it wasn't there.

I don't know where my "added to dictionary" words go? That would be a
help to know. I could ten go in and edit the file.

So when I read about the way to remove a word from the dictionary, I
thought I would give it a larrup.

So far no luck.

Thanks for your reply. I won't send a simple file with one word.

Be well,

Charlie

Hi Charlie,

yes, this worked before and it’s not removed. It should work.

The menu item shows up if the marked word is found in personal dictionary.

How did you add it to the personal dictionary? Are you able to provide a 
minimal example document to demonstrate the problem?
