Hi All,
Fedora 32, x64
thunderbird-68.11.0-1.fc32.x86_64
I thought I'd ask this over here as there are some really smart folks over here.
:-)
I want to remove "yo" from my dictionary. It is not in my custom dictionary, so how do I get rid of it from my standard dictionary?
Many thanks, -T

As far as I can tell, there is no easy way. The personal dictionary is only for adding more words. Thunderbird uses the system hunspell dictionary for spell checking. You would have to create a new dictionary with that word removed and tell Thunderbird to use that one.

That solution is for your personal dictionary. It IS NOT in my personal dictionary. I thought I did state that.
Dang!

I removed "yo" from
/usr/lib64/thunderbird/dictionaries/en_US.dic, line 48294
but no happy camping with that either

That is because, as Samuel mentioned, T-Bird uses hunspell.
The dictionary for hunspell is located in /usr/share/myspell.

/usr/lib64/thunderbird/dictionaries is a link to /usr/share/myspell so you've modified the system en_US dictionary. Your change will be reverted with the next update to that file.
but no happy camping with that either
Removing that line affected the command line spell checking for me. However, after extensive investigation and testing, I have no idea where Thunderbird gets the en_US dictionary from. It must be builtin somewhere, but I can't find that either. If you change the spell checking to a different "language", it loads the dictionary files for that language. But it never loads the en_US one under any conditions that I've tried.

Well Samuel also sniffed that out with the revelation that /usr/lib64/thunderbird/dictionaries is a link to /usr/share/myspell.

Did you restart T-Bird after the move? Is it possible T-bird loads the dictionary into memory on startup?

I stopped Thunerbird first. Renamed mysell, then restarted Thunderbird.

Well, I did the following.
cd /usr/share/myspell cp en_US.dic en_DE.dic cp en_US.aff en_DE.aff
This creates an English Dictionary for "Germany". A dictionary that doesn't exist and won't get overwritten by updates.
I then deleted the line "yo" from the newly created dictionary.
Then I went to the T-Bird Preferences, Composition, Spelling tab (after restarting T-Bird) and selected English (Germany) from the drop down menu.
After doing that "yo" had a red line under it as I had "Enable spellcheck as you type".

I wonder if this has anything to do with it. This is my dictionary entries from prefs.js:
user_pref("dictionarysearch.accesskey2", ""); user_pref("dictionarysearch.accesskey3", ""); user_pref("dictionarysearch.accesskey4", ""); user_pref("dictionarysearch.menutext1", "Dictionary Search for "$""); user_pref("dictionarysearch.menutext2", ""); user_pref("dictionarysearch.menutext3", ""); user_pref("dictionarysearch.menutext4", ""); user_pref("dictionarysearch.url1", "http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=$"); <------- Huh? user_pref("dictionarysearch.url2", ""); user_pref("dictionarysearch.url3", ""); user_pref("dictionarysearch.url4", "");
Look like Thunderbird is look at the web!

I do not know if that is any sort of bug.
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ cd .thunderbird/c3ml4ane.default/ [egreshko@meimei c3ml4ane.default]$ grep dictionarysearch prefs.js [egreshko@meimei c3ml4ane.default]$
Is it possible you have an extension installed which uses that parameter?
There is no need for a dictionary list in prefs.js since /usr/lib64/thunderbird/dictionaries is a link to /usr/share/myspell and T-Bird can simply list what is found in the entire directory.
The selected directory for spell checking is in prefs.js as
user_pref("spellchecker.dictionary", "en-DE");

Additionally, that preference will not exist if the chosen dictionary matches the locale LANG.
If you have a personal dictionary you are supposed to be able to add the line
-yo
to remove yo from being a valid spelling.
I have not tested this, just read in docs on hunspell womewhere.

Hi Barry,
I also posted a follow up to solve the issue a few days ago.
Thank you for the response anyway!
