Spell check prolbem

Postby Clitheroekid » November 27th, 2016, 6:35 pm

Having activated the spell checker in Chrome I now find that my most common typo - typing `teh' for `the' is ignored by the spell checker. I suspect I accidentally clicked on `Add to dictionary' instead of `the' at some stage, but I can't work out how to remove `teh' from my dictionary.

Does anyone know where I can find the dictionary, or how otherwise I can put `teh' back on the blacklist?

You can get to the dictionary to edit it by typing chrome://settings/editDictionary into the address bar. That and other ways, courtesy of How-To Geek here:

Excellent - many thanks. I also discovered that I'd accidentally added `te' and `thabn' to the dictionary. It would be better if the `Add to dictionary' option was further away from the suggested correction.

You might have accidentally added 'prolbem' too.
Heh! ;)
