Well, I did the following. cd /usr/share/myspell cp en_US.dic en_DE.dic cp en_US.aff en_DE.aff This creates an English Dictionary for "Germany". A dictionary that doesn't exist and won't get overwritten by updates. I then deleted the line "yo" from the newly created dictionary. Then I went to the T-Bird Preferences, Composition, Spelling tab (after restarting T-Bird) and selected English (Germany) from the drop down menu. After doing that "yo" had a red line under it as I had "Enable spellcheck as you type". -- The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
