Removing a "learned" Word

That is a little baffeling. I found that All English except US English does lack the unlearn option but US English works. N.B. my system is in Swedish.

Then I changed Pages 09 to English (US) using tha application Language Switcher and I still could unlearn the word.

All this is on Mountain Lion 10.8.2.

You can delete the word by another route:

1. In Finder press Option when you click on Go in the menu

2. Choose Library

3. Find the folder Spelling

4. Open it and double click on the document named en. It should open in TextEdit.

5. Find the word you want to delete and delte it. Save the document

6. Now it is gone!!

Sorry it shows en_GB

This is what it should look like when you right click on the faulte learned word

Kyle,

If you don't get the opportunity to Unlearn a a word, then it's not a word that you added to your User Dictionary.

If you try adding a non-word to your dictionary, and then select and control-click it, you will get the option to unlearn.

Here's an example:

If I Learn becaue, and then invoke the context menu, I will see:

As your computer isn't behaving as it should you could for diagnostic purpose log in to another user account on the computer. If you don't have one you can create one in the System preferences > Users and groups > Password.

Try out Pages and see if it beahes as it should. If Pages does there is probably corrupt plist file in the original account.

The file to delete (with Pages quitted) is com.apple.iwork.pages.plist in Users > your name > Library > Preferences

If it is a learned word you can unlearn it too. Right click on the word and choose ulearn on the popup menu. This works in Pages 09 but not in Pages 08

Which is the language? Which English?

I have to move over tou the system Mountain Lion and see if there is changes in Pages.
