Undo Learn Spelling in Pages
I hit learn spelling by mistake so now if the word in question is misspelled, Pages won't detect it. How do I undo this?
Mac mini 2018 or later

Hi Ben,
Rather than "selecting" the word, you need to right-click (or control-click) on the word to select it AND open the menu containing 'unlearn'. The 'unlearn' item will appear only if this word is a 'learned' spelling not included in the original spelling dictionary.

Type the incorrect spelling in a Pages document then double-click it to select the misspelled word. Now, right-click on the word & choose "Unlearn Spelling" from the contextual menu that appears.

Ingenious!

Thank you Peggy! My Mac mini is from 2012 but my software is current so hopefully this will work. The only issue now is since I told it to learn spelling I now can't find the word I wanted to unlearn! I really appreciate the prompt reply. Thanks again.
I've added a spelling accidentally, too - But for some reason, I don't have the Unlearn option when I select the word.
HI Barry,
Thanks for getting back to me on this one.
I've tried that, and it works for other words I've added to my dictionary, - But it doesn't work on this one word I accidentally added. I haven't got a clue why, but I've come up with a workaround for it, setting up the incorrectly learned word as always changing to what it SHOULD be as a text shortcut.
I don't know why it doesn't work for this one word... it's mystery, but my workaround seems to be hitting the mark for now.
