Remove or change word in default dictionary

Hello!

Is there a way to change the spelling or remove a word from the default dictionary? I have added the correct spelling for my needs to the personal dictionary already.

Example, by muscle memory and in the default dictionary it is spelling the name "Kirsten" as usual. I have one business contact that spells it "Kirstan". I would like this to be the default..

Any ideas?

Thanks!
