I accidentally added a misspelled word to the dictionary. Is there anyway to remove the misspelled word?

Open the Thunderbird profile folder as described in this help article https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-thunderbird-stores-user-data Verify that TB is closed, search for the persdict.dat file in the profile folder, open it in a text editor and execute your correction(s).

Thanks That worked. I could not find anything about this when I performed a search.
