Where is my Dictionary?

[Framar]

You know, the one when you write something like "fillet" and the computer suggests you mean "fill it" so you click "Add to Dictionary."

That one! I have been assiduously adding to "my dictionary" for 10 years now - and somehow, maybe with the elimination of that last spelling and grammar check program that I downloaded and did a system restore to get rid of - it seems that I have had to add many many words that have been added for years!

So, I know I have stumbled across this dictionary once or twice by accident - but where do I go in this labyrinth to find it on purpose?

Also, once I do find it, is there any way to enter a bunch of words all at once? That would be nice!

Each application (Word, FireFox, etc) has it's own dictionary.

Which one you are talking about Mar???

It somehow seems to me that they are all gone and I am starting at the very beginning - email, Facebook, Firefox, Word, the Grumble - everywhere I type words.......

I dunno - maybe I am imagining things - I even saved all of my Arrrggghhhs and Grrrrrs and Bwahahahahs - *sigh* - now they are all underlined again (unless I spelled them wrong!).

Muah!

If you're using FireFox....then the Grumble and FB are spell checked by FireFox.

Here's how you can modify, add to it etc....if you're up to it....

Don't forget to close FireFox BEFORE hacking it!!!

Nevermind.....

Hey, you asked......LOL

It is really very easy though: You open that file in Notepad,. you add your arrrggghhhs and Grrrrrs and Bwahahahahs and save it. Done.

PS: The entries look like this:

Arrrggghhh
Grrrrr
Bwahahahah
Definitely.............................................

I added the last one because it is the MOST misspelled word in Grumble's history....right after your (when they mean you're.....ugh)

Oh do not get me started on online spelling. Oy vey!
