If the dictionary is a Lucene index, wouldn't it be as simple as delete
using a term query? Something like this:
IndexReader sdreader = new IndexReader();
sdreader.delete(new Term(word, sherri));
...
sdreader.optimize();
sdreader.close();
I am guessing your dictionary is built dynamically using content words.
If so, you may want to run the words through an aspell like filter
(jazzy.sf.net is a Java implementation of aspell that works quite well
with single words) to determine if more of these should be removed, and
whether they should be added in the first place.

Some of my content has some mis-spellings, and for example when I search for
the word sherrif (which should be spelled sheriff), it get recommendations
like sherriff or sherri instead. If I could remove those words, it would
seem like the system would work a little better.
