    Deleting an added word to the dictionary

    During a spellcheck, I accidently hit the button to 'Add to Dictionary"
    instead of "change" This was a big mistake as it is the one word I mistype
    every letter, I need to delete it from the dictionary as a word I added. Can
    anyone tell me how to do this, I have spent hours and can't figure it out.
    Thanks.
