To remove that word you can use LyX. In case you are using <Spellcheck continuously> you have the option to remove it with the context menu. I know that you don't use it and now I can see the need for an interface to remove a previously added word somewhere in the ordinary spellchecker dialog... Currently you have to remove it from the file located inside your home directory below the .lyx folder. It's named e.g. pwl_english.dict. Stephan
