From my keyboard:
Hello Stephan,
Thank you for your help. Had I known I should look into my
~/.config directory for enchant, I would have been right.
Joe had the answer and shared it. So I found the word and removed it.
My problem was not a big issue, however, just annoying to think I
couldn't grub it out when I checked my ~/.aspell.en.pws file even
before I posted my question.
Thanks both of you.
Be well,
Charlie
