I acidently made spellcheck learn "everyhitng" in place of "everything". I can't find anything that tells me how to fix it. Please help.
I have OS X 10.8.2 and this first happened in Safari, but it seems to be in all applications.
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
checking other forums state it is in the users home library and delete the word
you have to log out and back in
see the two entries shown here

From Mac Help:
"If you accidentally add a misspelled word to the dictionary, type the misspelling in the Spelling and Grammar window and click Ignore, or Control-click the misspelling and choose Unlearn Spelling from the shortcut menu."
This doesnt work, There is nothing I can ever find that says Unlearn Spelling.
As you can see in this photo, it shows its a wrong word, but wont give me the right spelling anymore.
Those files don't exist.

You may have not looked in the right place. To get to Home/Library in 10.8 you need to hold down the Option key while doing Finder > Go, and then you will see Library.
Hold down the option key while using the 'Go' menu in the Finder to expose 'Library'.
Not sure why the default solution isn't working for you, sorry.
Perhaps if you walk your MB into the nearest Apple Store and ask for help there.
Good luck in any case.
Your screenshot shows that "everyhitng" is correctly underlined as a misspelled word. Thus, it is not learned, so you cannot unlearn it.
By "give me the right spelling" I assume that you mean "suggest the right spelling". It can be that the misspelling is too serious for the spell checker to make a suggestion.
How do I fix spell check?
