Hi David,
You meant to type "Tilde" not "Tilda".
The tilde(~) character is a shortcut for the home directory of the
logged in user.
Cheers,
Ronni

Afternoon,
Just want too add for anyone who may not know as it used on the
Internet and in the operating system as well...
~/Desktop
Is the same as
Macintosh HD/Users/dmoyle/Desktop
The use of the Tilda is the reference to the currently logged in
user's home directory.
Cheers

Hi Susan,
You are certainly not dense, and I for one would never even hint
such a thing.
I'm sorry for not being more exact with my terminology, it's just
that most people understand "Home" easier than "Your User "Library.
Before when I have given the path "Your Username folder", I've had
people ask me "Do you mean my "Home folder".
I guess sometimes you just can't win them all ;-)
Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Ronni, I don't have home/library/spelling. I have my username/
library/spelling. Which is the same thing just me being a bit
dense. Cheers, Susan

Hi Susan,
I never said it was located in the Main HD, I told Stuart &
previously Steven:
"1. There is a file in home/Library/Spelling "LocalDictionary"
that holds all the learnt words for your language.
2. Drag the file into Text Edit's dock icon, search for and
delete the words and then save it."
Steven located the file and deleted the error words that he had
added to Dictionary.
Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Ronni, there are two Home/Library/Spelling files on my
laptop. The 'local dictionary' is in my user directory library
under spelling, not in the main HD library spelling directory.
Could that be why Stuart couldn't find it.
Anyway, its on my machine and should be on Stuart's.
cheers, Susan.

Stuart,
Are you saying there is NO Home/Library/Spelling
"LocalDictionary" in Leopard?
There has to be in Home/Library/Spelling and in the Spelling
directory will be a file (possibly just one), one for each
language you use.
If you speak English, the name of the file will be "en"?
Drag the "en" file to Text Edit's dock icon, search for and
delete the incorrect words and then save it.
Cheers,
Ronni

I have edited the file previously but can't remember to find

Where do I find it?
Hello Stuart,
1. There is a file in home/Library/Spelling "LocalDictionary"
that holds all the learnt words for your language.
2. Drag the file into Text Edit's dock icon, search for and
delete the words and then save it.
